No, I'm not saying a common in a shared library wins over a common in a regular
object, just that the maximum size is taken into account.

See the comment in bfd/elflink.c starting /* NEWDYNCOMMON and OLDDYNCOMMON
indicate ..  It's interesting that the comment mentions fortran too.

I believe this is Ian's code from 1997 or so.  See also
