--- Comment #4 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
optopt is common, and from a linker perspective I believe the correct
resolution of a common symbol in the executable and a strong definition in a
shared library, is the shared library symbol. Therefore the change to
binds_local_p is wrong.
What's going on here is that HJ has made changes for x86 to always copy
variables defined in a shared library into the executable's .dynbss if
referenced by the executable. This is necessary to support non-PIC without
text relocations, but isn't necessary for PIC. It is certainly possible to do
this for PIC but I think only x86 does so.
