           Summary: Alignment of a common symbol overridden by a
                    definition
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.22 (HEAD)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden


(I don't know is it related to / a duplicate of PR12564.)

ld.bfd gives a warning: "/usr/bin/ld: Warning: alignment 4 of symbol `baz' in
/tmp/ccEJaaP0.o is smaller than 16 in /tmp/ccs1dDrt.o"; ld.gold doesn't even
warn.

I think the linker should choose the largest alignment, as it already does when
merging multiple common symbols.
