[Bug ld/2300] New: ld does not report duplicate symbols defined in script file

[raj dot khem at gmail dot com]

In the following example symbol _start should have been reported as duplicate as
there are two instances of it. But ld does not report this error and the _start
symbol defined in duplicate.o file is overridden.

example

Sampel application "duplicate.c":
  extern int dummy(void)
  {
  volatile int i;

  /* create some .text data to move _start away from the beginning */

  for(i = 0; i < 100; i++)
  ;

  return i;
  }

  extern void _start(void)
  {
  volatile int *p = (volatile int*)0xbf0c;

  *p = dummy();
  }

Linker script "duplicate-ld":
  SECTIONS
  {
  .text 0x:
  {
  _start = . ;
  *(.text)
  }
  } 



How to reproduce 

gcc -c -o duplicate.o duplicate.c
ld -o duplicate -T duplicate-ld duplicate.o
