it is impossible to create an alias of a common symbol (as
compat_symbol does), because common symbols do not have a section or
an offset until linked. GNU as tolerates aliases of common symbols by
simply creating another common symbol, but other assemblers (notably
LLVM's integrated assembler) are less tolerant.
