   XCOFF is a weird format.  A normal XCOFF .o files will have three
   COFF sections--.text, .data, and .bss--but each COFF section will
   contain many csects.  These csects are described in the symbol
   table.  From the linker's point of view, each csect must be
   considered a section in its own right.  For example, a TOC entry is
   handled as a small XMC_TC csect.  The linker must be able to merge
   different TOC entries together, which means that it must be able to
   extract the XMC_TC csects from the .data section of the input .o
   file.

   From the point of view of our linker, this is, of course, a hideous
   nightmare.  We cope by actually creating sections for each csect,
   and discarding the original sections.  We then have to handle the
   relocation entries carefully, since the only way to tell which
   csect they belong to is to examine the address.  */

             a symbol is defined multiple times, and the only
             references are from the same object file, the AIX linker
             appears to permit it.  It does not merge the different
             definitions, but handles them independently.  On the
             other hand, if there is a reference, the linker reports
             an error.

             This matters because the AIX <net/net_globals.h> header
             file actually defines an initialized array, so we have to
             actually permit that to work.

             Just to make matters even more confusing, the AIX linker
             appears to permit multiple symbol definitions whenever
             the second definition is in an archive rather than an
             object file.  This may be a consequence of the manner in
             which it handles archives: I think it may load the entire
             archive in as separate csects, and then let garbage
             collection discard symbols.

             We also have to handle the case of statically linking a
             shared object, which will cause symbol redefinitions,
