Well, whatever the reason, I've just completely pulled these lines from
Defs-bsd.gmk.

Hmmm, I think the man pages may be out of date. This is an ld flag rather
than a gcc flag, so gcc version isn't relevant. The info documents on 4.3
(binutils 2.10.1) say:
`-z KEYWORD'
This option is ignored for Solaris compatibility.
So, it should have effectively been a no-op on FreeBSD. Whether it is or
isn't, since the documentation I have says it has no effect I've gotten
rid of it :).
