The autotester is currently at FreeBSD 8.4. This is rather obsolete. The linker
that is standard on 8.4 is causing problems:

The oldest supported version of FreeBSD stands at 10.3:

I know the linker with FreeBSD 11.0 does work correctly. I don't know which
FreeBSD version it was fixed on.
So the question is, can we at least move to FreeBSD 10.3 as the minimum
supported version? Is anyone very dependent on an older FreeBSD? Is there a case
for supporting FreeBSD versions that are officially unsupported?
