    (b) '-z nocombreloc' is set for gnu-linux, not for any of the other
    system type or machine type. Shouldn't GNU/Hurd gets it as well,
    as there is no other linker but GNU ld on GNU/Hurd?

Maybe so.

    (a) the other bug report with that symptom (-nw ok, die at 
    XtInitializeWidgetClass () in XFree86 4.3), filed against CVS emacs was
    for x86-freebsd5.0. (oops).

If someone who uses FreeBSD tells us what we need to do, we would
be glad to fix this.  Are you suggesting that Emacs should do
-z nocombreloc whenever it uses GNU LD?

    (c) there doesn't seem to be any check for recent version (<14 months)
    of GNU ld (where the precise problem is)? or indeed, the presence of
    any version of GNU ld?

I don't see any reason why we would want to check the version.
