The problem is that emacs thinks he must use its own `ld' command in
the Makefile, not going via cc(1).  cc carefully avoids to link libgcc
dynamically, but emacs breaks this.

The best solution is to not install obsolete shared libs into /usr/lib
on the package building machine.  Since /usr/lib/compat/ is standard
with FreeBSD 2.2 or higher, this accident shouldn't happen again.
