Hello iant@golang.org (cc: gofrontend-dev@googlegroups.com),

I'd like you to review this change to

bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

This is mainly for Darwin where -fno-common is the default setting.

Can we make the corresponding changes in the gc library?

sure. so even libgo/runtime is translated from gc one?
does the script exists somewhere?

The script is libgo/merge.sh.  The files in the runtime variable are merged over
in the runtime library via the merge_c function.  As you know there are many
gccgo-specific changes, so merge conflicts are common, but we do at least try to
merge them in.
