    ...
    ld(1) should make -z combreloc the default behavior when creating a
    final object (ie., an executable or shared object).  The -z combreloc
    option will still be recognized, but effectively ignored.  A new
    -z nocombreloc option will be added to disable the relocation section
    concatenation.

Under what circumstances might one wish to use the old behavior?  What
is the compatibility impact of switching this default?
