Treat common symbol in executable as definition
Common symbol in executable is a definition, which overrides definition from shared objects. When linker sees a new definition from a shared object, the new dynamic definition should be overridden by the previous common symbol in executable. bfd/ PR ld/19579 * elflink.c (_bfd_elf_merge_symbol): Treat common symbol in executable as definition if the new definition comes from a shared library. ld/ PR ld/19579 * testsuite/ld-elf/pr19579a.c: New file. * testsuite/ld-elf/pr19579b.c: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-elf/shared.exp: Run PR ld/19579 test.
