A C testcase is generally only of use to people who have the relevant
target C compilers, but in this case I'll make a guess at the
problem..

This is very unlikely to be the correct solution.  See the comment on
ref_regular.  Your testcase has a common variable, so I'll guess the
line should be

    || (!h->def_regular && !ELF_COMMON_DEF_P (h))
