-Wl,-R is the official standard for pkgsrc, and currently, pkgsrc officially
supports 1.3.x (most of which, on ELF, had compilers not capable of -R).

So, we go with that, until 1.3.x compatibility is dropped.  It's not a
particularly difficult change in most pkgs (and libtool eliminates the need
to know when... <g>).
