A lot of ebuilds are shared between the g/*bsd and g/linux port, that's somewhat the point of the whole thing. Of course, there may be linux-only packages where the calls to gen_usr_ldscript will become useless, but in general these calls should remain and the function shall be a no-op on platforms where this is desired.
