+ * elflink.h (elf_link_is_defined_archive_symbol): New
+ function: Decide if a symbol, in an archive map is there
+ because it is defined in the archive element, or because it is
+ just another common declaration of it.
+ (elf_link_add_archive_symbols): Use
+ elf_link_is_defined_archive_symbol to decide if an archive
