Checked on the source code, I did not see any free action on below shortopts, longopts, really_longopts variable.

ld/lexsup.c
  shortopts = (char *) xmalloc (OPTION_COUNT * 3 + 2);
  longopts = (struct option *)
      xmalloc (sizeof (*longopts) * (OPTION_COUNT + 1));
  really_longopts = (struct option *)
      malloc (sizeof (*really_longopts) * (OPTION_COUNT + 1));
