This makes -fno-common the default for all targets because this has performance
and code-size benefits and is more language conforming for C code.
Additionally, GCC10 also defaults to -fno-common and so we get consistent
behaviour with GCC.
With this change, C code that uses tentative definitions as definitions of a
variable in multiple translation units will trigger multiple-definition linker
errors. Generally, this occurs when the use of the extern keyword is neglected
in the declaration of a variable in a header file. In some cases, no specific
translation unit provides a definition of the variable. The previous behavior
can be restored by specifying -fcommon.
As GCC has switched already, we benefit from applications already being ported
and existing documentation how to do this. For example:
- https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-10/porting_to.html
- https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gcc_10_porting_notes/fno_common
