--- Comment #3 from Fangrui Song <i at maskray.me> ---
In principle the compiler can use GOT in -fno-pic mode. It is even desired to
do so for undefined symbols. For defined symbols, omitting GOT whenever
possible is fine.


@arr = common dso_local global [8 x i8] zeroinitializer
=>
  movabsq $arr, %rdi

@arr = common dso_preemptable global [8 x i8] zeroinitializer
=>
  movq    arr at GOTPCREL(%rip), %rdi


Clang correctly sets dso_local/dso_preemptable. If your frontend wants to use
absolute relocations, please set dso_local explicitly.
