Fangrui Song ce45c95694 [ELF] Remove obscure -dp and GNU ld incompatible --[no-]define-common, ignore -d/-dc
https://maskray.me/blog/2022-02-06-all-about-common-symbols#no-define-common

In GNU ld, -dc only affects -r links and causes COMMON symbols to be allocated.
--no-define-common is defined to make COMMON symbols undefined for -shared.
AIUI --no-define-common is a workaround around glibc 2.1 time and not really useful.

gold confuses --define-common with -d/FORCE_COMMON_ALLOCATION and implements
--define-common with -d semantics. Its --no-define-common is incompatible with
GNU ld.

In ld.lld, b2a23cf3c0 fixed the default -r
behavior for COMMON symbols but ported the incompatible gold
--[no-]define-common. To the best of my knowledge, no project uses -dp
--[no-]define-common. So just remove these options.

-d/-dc are used by the following projects:

* grub grub-core/genmod.sh.in uses -Wl,-r,-d (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2022-02/msg00088.html)
* FreeBSD crunchgen uses -Wl,-dc (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D34215)

A no-op implementation works for them. Only when a program inspects relocatable
output by itself and does not recognize COMMON symbols, there may be a problem.
This is an extremely unlikely case.
