FreeBSD-2.2

>Description:

The gtk12 port does not build on FreeBSD-2.2.x. I realise that 2.2
is no longer officially supported by the Ports collection, but GTK
is quite an important port, and I suspect this might be easy to fix.

The problem is that gtk12 pases the -E option to ld. This option has
been added to ld since 2.2, and ld fails:

checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.1... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured.

config.log says:

configure:4705: checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.1
configure:4804: cc -o conftest -O -pipe -m486 -Wall
  -I/usr/local/include/glib12 -D_THREAD_SAFE -pthread
  -I/usr/local/include conftest.c -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-E
  -lgmodule12 -lgthread12 -lglib12 -lc_r -lintl -L/usr/local/lib
  1>&5
ld: invalid command option -E'

>How-To-Repeat:

# cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk12
# make all
