Mine was a gas patch, to output the duplicates - GDB cares about them.
HJ's is for the dwarf2 reader that addr2line and ld's error messages
use.
ld's only ever interested in the code -> location mapping. In that
direction, the duplicates aren't useful; the last one from the input
is the only one we need. The patch looks plausible to me.
