Hi Richard,

The odr-6 test mixes C and C++ using .C/.c extensions. But like you suggest,
dg-options
works on the 2nd file, and with that odr-6 and pr88077 tests pass without
needing changes
in lto.exp. I needed to change one of the types since default object alignment
is different
between -fcommon and -fno-common and that causes linker failures when linking
objects
built with different -fcommon settings. I also checked regress on x64, there
was one minor
failure because of the alignment change, which is easily fixed.
So here is v3:
[PATCH v3] PR85678: Change default to -fno-common
GCC currently defaults to -fcommon. As discussed in the PR, this is an ancient
C feature which is not conforming with the latest C standards. On many targets
this means global variable accesses have a codesize and performance penalty.
This applies to C code only, C++ code is not affected by -fcommon. It is about
time to change the default.
Passes bootstrap and regress on AArch64 and x64. OK for commit?
