Per the ELF spec, section groups may only contain local symbols if those symbols are only
referenced from within the section group. [1] In the case of template parameter objects,
they can be referenced from outside the group when the type of the object was declared
in an anonymous namespace. In that case, we can't place the object in a COMDAT. This matches
GCC's linkage behavior on the test input.
