As far as I can see, neither WRAP_LDFLAGS nor EXE_DEF_FILE are ever set or do anything useful. Same for SHLIB_LD{START,END}FILE. Similarly, SUB_SHLOBJS is only by used by nss' make build system.

BIN_FLAGS is only set on NETBSD, we could probably stick this in MOZ_PROGRAM_LDFLAGS.

It's a little hard to tell because there's a lot of references to it in nspr and nss, but EXTRA_LIBS seems defunct as well.

LD_VERSION_SCRIPT doesn't seem to be set anywhere. We actually add -version-script some places, but not through this variable.

I guess it doesn't hurt to leave this in DEPRECATED_VARIABLES? Or should that go away too? https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/2535bad09d720e71a982f3f70dd6925f66ab8ec7/python/mozbuild/mozbuild/backend/recursivemake.py#147

emitter.py still lists LD_VERSION_SCRIPT as a passthru variable: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/2535bad09d720e71a982f3f70dd6925f66ab8ec7/python/mozbuild/mozbuild/frontend/emitter.py#944
