gcc 4.8 on ubuntu 14.04 does some broken optimization at link-time
which causes grpc to create a grpc_cpp_plugin which quits because
of a failing assertion. The created plugin is itself used during
compilation which lets the build fail.
With the added -Wl,--no-as-needed flag the LTO is disabled and grpc
compiles successfully.
