Tar file that includes a testcase (assembly file and linker script).

We have linker scripts which have expressions like below.

_init = DEFINED(user_init) ? user_init : _init;

which is like a self assignment. Such linker scripts work ok with GNU ld with
_init retaining its value. In lld, it gets zeroed out. I am attaching a simple
assembly file and a linker script which show this problem.
