[lld] r188235 - [PECOFF] Treat the common symbol as mergeable symbol.

[Nick Kledzik]

Rui,

Does Windows linker treat “common” symbols differently that lld’s mergeAsTentative?  Is there something we need to change in core linking to support alternate semantics?  Or is this an issue with creating mergeAsTentative from COFF object files?
