Not hardly.  The "-z text" option has been in there since at least 6.4.
6.4's Makefile.shlib has

ifeq ($(PORTNAME), unixware) ... LDFLAGS_SL            := -G -z text ...
endif

which was cribbed from even older shlib support in other files.  We used
that up through 7.0 without any revisions.  In 7.1 Makefile.shlib was
revised pretty heavily; 7.1 has a unixware section that is identical to
current sources, in particular
 LINK.shared        += -Wl,-z,text -Wl,-h,$(soname)

So I think this code is pretty well tested and removing the -z option
is more likely to break things than fix them.

What misbehavior are you seeing exactly?
