[Bug libc/467] Build fails on sparc when gcc supports comdat

I wouldn't call it a hack - it's H.J. Lu's patch for using comdat if gas supports it (patch from 
2004-07-09). Here's an excerpt from our gcc's changelog: 
 
Revision 1.217.2.71  2004/08/07 00:49:17  qboosh 
- added pr16276 patch (fixes libstdc++ linking on ia64; 
  needs binutils with COMDAT support) 
 
With new binutils the comdat handling changed (got more restrictive?) and I've had to patch 
i686 too (http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/SOURCES/glibc-comdat.patch). 
 
Though we've lost our ia64 builder since then, so I'll probably drop that gcc patch altogether 
- it's starting to be a real pain in the neck.
