[Rivet] --no-as-needed only exists for ELF linkers

[James Monk]

while we're on the subject of niggly little build snafus, I've noticed that the yaml-cpp lib path probably needs to be added to rivetenv.sh.in.  This is exactly the sort of thing we want to iron out for a 2.0 release, so I guess it's ok to add that to trunk this time!

cheers,

James
