<pre>$ cat 1.c
int xxx;

$ ./bin/clang 1.c -c
fatal error: error in backend: symbol 'xxx' is already defined
I'm not sure what to make of it.
It should be possible to use the same name for a symbol and a section, right?
What about internal symbols? (i.e. "static int xxx;" fails with the same
error).
If not, this is a case of missing diagnostic in Clang.
GCC behavior is to override the section symbol with the global.</pre>
