Testcases (ELF)

The 1st testcase fails with an error:

$ as 1.s -o 1.o --defsym X=1
1.s: Assembler messages:
1.s:18: Warning: section symbols are already global
1.s:23: Error: symbol `foo' is already defined

But in the 2nd case, a symbol silently disappears:

$ as 1.s -o 1.o
$ nm -a 1.o
00000000 D bar
00000000 b .bss
00000000 d .data
00000000 d foo
00000000 t .text
