Common symbol in executable is a definition, which overrides definition
from shared objects. When linker sees a new definition from a shared
object, the new dynamic definition should be overridden by the previous

R_386_GOT32X, R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX and R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX relocations
retrieve the symbol address via its GOT slot. If the symbol address is
known at the link-time, we can use it directly by changing instruction
encoding. Indirect branch can only be converted to PC relative direct
branch. MOV can be changed to LEA or encoded differently with signed
address. The subset of binary operations can be encoded only with
signed address.
If undefined weak symbol is resolved to zero link-time, we can use it
as address. Zero addresss can't used with PC relative direct branch
when PIC is true since the current PC is unknown. In 64-bit, 32-bit
relocation for PC relatiave direct branch to zero may also overflow.
If this optimization causes relocation overflow, --no-relax can be used
to work around it.

In <https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2015-12/msg00190.html> (commit
4a07dc8135), Kwok fixed a problem with
the template used for a dummy BFD for an IR file for LTO on MinGW,
where the input and output formats are not the same.
A problem, however, remains in the case of linking for
x86_64-w64-mingw32 -m32, where LTO linking reports an ambiguity
between the pe-i386 and pei-i386 formats. An object (pe-i386) with
plugin data is being tested by the linker to see what formats match.
The default format initially set by the linker when
bfd_check_format_matches is called is pei-i386 (as that's the output
format from the linker script), which does not match, so the function
goes on to the loop over possible BFD vectors. The pe-i386 vector
matches, as it should. One other vector matches: the plugin vector.
bfd_check_format_matches tests a vector for matching by temporarily
modifying the BFD object to use that vector then using
_bfd_check_format on it. So the BFD object is temporarily using
plugin_vec. _bfd_check_format ends up using bfd_plugin_object_p which
uses plugin_object_p from ld which uses plugin_get_ir_dummy_bfd which
succeeds, having created a BFD based on link_info.output_bfd (because
srctemplate is the BFD temporarily using plugin_vec, even after Kwok's
patch link_info.output_bfd is all that's available to base the dummy
BFD on). So we end up with a match from the plugin vector which uses
the pei-i386 vector even though the pei-i386 vector itself does not
match the input object. (In the i686-mingw32 case, as opposed to this
multilib case, pe-i386 is the default BFD target, which would
short-circuit that logic.)
There are two cases of the linker handling inputs with a plugin: they
may be inputs that are also accepted by some non-plugin BFD format, as
here, or they may be a format that would not be recognized at all, as
with some tests in the ld testsuite. In the former case, there is no
need for BFD to accept the objects using the plugin vector, as the
linker has its own logic to allow plugins to claim objects accepted by
some other BFD vector. Thus, this patch arranges for the plugin
vector to have the lowest match priority, and for the priority from
that vector to be used in the relevant case (the attempted match to
the plugin vector results in TEMP pointing to the pei-i386 vector).
Tested for GCC and Binutils testsuites for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, as
well as verifying that it fixes the observed LTO issue for
x86_64-w64-mingw32.
