--- Comment #5 from Fangrui Song <i at maskray.me> ---
gcc 10/clang 11 make -fno-common the default. Fortran COMMON is strongly
discouraged.

In GNU ld, --sort-common places common symbols of align>=16 first, then
align=8, then align=4, then align=2, then align=1. The packing benefit is
actually very small. For musl x86-64 libc.a, it can save 0~8 bytes, which is
close to nothing.
