		=== gas Summary ===

# of expected passes		372
../as-new 2.19.51.20090724

And it works for me (using gas in the path when building with gcc). As
long as the objects linked together all have the flags and entsize set
strings get merged. As soon as an older object is linked in that doesn't
have those set then not all duplicate strings are removed (as expected).
