how to handle Linux specific bits in ld/emultempl/elf32.em

ld/emultempl/elf32.em contains the function
gld${EMULATION_NAME}_check_ld_so_conf with a comment of:
/* For a native linker, check the file /etc/ld.so.conf for directories
in which we may find shared libraries. /etc/ld.so.conf is really
only meaningful on Linux. */
However this causes problems on FreeBSD where a
gld${EMULATION_NAME}_check_ld_elf_hints function is needed. "ld.so" is
our a.out run-time link-editor.
Should gld${EMULATION_NAME}_check_ld_elf_hints be added to elf32.em with
it and gld${EMULATION_NAME}_check_ld_so_conf wrapped in a case statement
triggering on `${target}'? Or should both functions be moved to system
specific files and conditionally "included"?
