Just FYI even in FreeBSD this is not very high priority. -r is used
only for OpenPAM and another few modules that we can (easily)
disabled.
At some point I plan to take a look at each linker invocation in
FreeBSD passing -r in order to understand if really required for them
or it's only historical heritage (wild guess, probably it won't but
nobody ever bothered to change it).
That said, great to see -r implemented, I plan to take a closer look
at this patch for review in the next days.

Thanks!
