If there is a bug in the LTO implementation that causes it to fail to provide
an expected symbol definition, the linker should report an undefined symbol
error. Unfortunately, we were failing to do so if the symbol definition
was weak, as the undefine() function was turning the definition into a weak
undefined symbol, which resolves to zero if the symbol remains undefined. This
patch causes us to set the binding to STB_GLOBAL when we undefine a symbol.
I can't see a good way to test this. The behaviour should only be observable
if there is a bug in the LTO implementation.
Please add a comment to describe why you are doing this. Without comment it is hard to understand why because the linker works fine without this piece of code.
