I've got a patch candidate that can solve it:

diff --git a/bfd/coffgen.c b/bfd/coffgen.c
index 309e1249ac..1d200b066b 100644

-      if (((s_comdat != NULL) == (l_comdat != NULL)
-          && strcmp (name, l->sec->name) == 0)

        {
          /* The section has already been linked.  See if we should
             issue a warning.  */

However, Honza is still thinking that LDPR_PREVAILING_DEF_IRONLY should be used
for the symbol. If I see correctly it's set in ld/plugin.c base on
 else if (owner_sec->owner == abfd).

Can you please help me where sections are set for each symbol? Is it a COFF
specific code?
