PR24567, assertion failure in ldlang.c:6868 when compiling with -flto
As the existing comment said: "a common ought to be overridden by a def in a -flto object". This patch makes the code actually do that, rather than allowing a normal object file common to override a -flto defined symbol. PR 24567 * plugin.c (plugin_notice): Do not let a common symbol override a non-common definition in IR. (cherry picked from commit af4fa23fba220c1b26bb3c8a7996b406dcc181cc)
