We need much more tests. You need to replace all current COMMON
tests with STT_COMMON and add STT_COMMON to the testing matrix for
things like

1. STT_COMMON and COMMON with different alignments/sizes.
2. STT_COMMON and weak.
3. STT_COMMON and undefined with different STT_*.

I may have missed some.
