- Subject: [gold][patch] Fix comdat handling in replacement LTO objects
The gold plugin support did not expect replacement objects coming from
the LTO plugin to have comdat groups/linkonce sections in them, and
would discard any such comdat groups as duplicates of those originally
seen in the claimed plugin object. That turns out not to have been a
reasonable expectation, and it also complicates testing (we couldn't
just pass a sample object straight through a plugin). This patch
allows a comdat from a replacement file to override a comdat first
seen in a plugin file.
OK?
