Summary

While lorder is not required by our current toolchain (or any toolchain
we've used in the past decade or two), it still occasionally shows up
in build systems of third party software, including The Open Group's
UNIX conformance test suite, and the maintenance cost is negligible.

What do you think about a comment explaining why it is retained? something like "is not required by contemporary linkers, but it is still expected by some third party software build systems."
