--- Comment #5 from Cary Coutant <ccoutant at gmail dot com> ---
The point about Fortran is a fair one, and, I think, compelling. If a .o
contains a named common block, and an archive contains a BLOCK DATA, the linker
should include the BLOCK DATA.

Compiling with gcc -fno-common does provide a way to get the strict ANSI C
behavior, and requires no extra linker support.
