<dd>"<tt>common</tt>" linkage is exactly the same as <tt>linkonce</tt>

discarded. This is used for globals that may be emitted in multiple
translation units, but that are not guaranteed to be emitted into every
translation unit that uses them. One example of this is tentative

that some targets may choose to emit different assembly sequences for them
for target-dependent reasons. This is used for globals that are declared
