Build of intel-speed-select will fail if you run:

$ LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" /usr/bin/make V=1
...
gcc -O2 -Wall -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -Iinclude -I/usr/include/libnl3 -Wl,--as-needed -lnl-genl-3 -lnl-3 intel-speed-select-in.o -o intel-speed-select
/usr/bin/ld: intel-speed-select-in.o: in function `handle_event':
(...)/linux/tools/power/x86/intel-speed-select/hfi-events.c:189: undefined reference to `nlmsg_hdr'
...

In this case the problem is that order when linking matters when using
the flag -Wl,--as-needed, symbols not used at that point are discarded.
So since intel-speed-select-in.o comes after, at that point the
libraries/symbols are already discarded and then missing/undefined
references are reported.

To fix this, make sure we specify LDFLAGS after the object file.
