It has nothing to do with "ld -r". The problem is "nm -l" doesn't work well
on .o file:
# nm -l t1.o
00000000 T main /user/hjl/bugs/binutils/debug/t1.c:5
00000000 D test1_v1 /user/hjl/bugs/binutils/debug/t1.c:5 -> should be 1
00000004 D test1_v2 /user/hjl/bugs/binutils/debug/t1.c:5 -> should be 2
00000008 D test1_v3 /user/hjl/bugs/binutils/debug/t1.c:5 -> should be 3
nm uses bfd_find_nearest_line to find line number. It is address based and
doesn't work well on data symbols in relocatable file where data and text
sections can have same addreses. We need something like
bfd_find_nearest_line_by_symbol.
