Remove old combreloc hack
It has not been needed for many years and gets in the way of portable dumping, address sanitization, etc. See: https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2016-12/msg00147.html * configure.ac (LDFLAGS_NOCOMBRELOC, emacs_cv_znocombreloc): Remove. All uses removed. * etc/PROBLEMS: Remove discussion of combreloc problems.
