Re: OS/2 Patches (4)

If you are worried about common symbols, pass `--warn-common' to the
linker.  There is no need to artificially inflate the size of the
resulting binary with gratuitous entries in the data section.

Furthermore, when suggesting changes, you should always supply a
rational for the changes.  Your response shows that you knew that this
was a controversial change.

As for renaming `program_name', that is a standard GNU extension that
many programs rely on.

Thanks.
