-	  /* We have changed the GNU archiver so that it will only place
-	     non-common symbols into its archive map.  Thus if we come across
-	     a symbol in the archive map, which is currently considered to be
-	     a common symbol, we can safely assume that we should link the
-	     element in, in order to get in the definition of the symbol.
-	     
-	     Previous versions of the archiver would place common symbols into
-	     the archive map.  This meant that in order to only link in an
-	     element if it contained a *definition* of a common symbol, it
-	     would be necessary to read in the element and scan its symbol
-	     table - a slow and wasteful process.
-
-	     In fact previous versions of this code did not even do that,
-	     instead it just unilaterally ignored any symbols in the archive
-	     map which were currently marked as common.  So in order to link
-	     in an archive element containing the definition of a common
-	     symbol it was necessary to have that element also contain the
-	     defintion of a currently undefined symbol.  */
