The GCC documentation doesn't say that you can omit the comma after "-Wl"
so that may not work as you hope.  We could use "-Xlinker" instead which
passes the next argument to the linker (both are supported as far back
as GCC 2.95.4).  But it would be good to track down this odd bug which
prevents the comma being escaped correctly.

You shouldn't need one - it's in the tarball!  Unless you did "rm
xapian-config*" or "make maintainer-clean" then something very odd is
going on.

If you read that section, it'll tell you one solution is to add
"--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc"!  So I suspect this is fallout from
removing the comma from after "-Wl"...
