I am thinking compiler flags which will generate section names like
.gnu.linkonce.same.content...., .gnu.linkonce.same.size.... Then the
linker can turn on SEC_LINK_DUPLICATES_SAME_CONTENTS and
SEC_LINK_DUPLICATES_SAME_SIZE, accordingly. Of course, they will be
off by default and the program has to use the same flags to compile all
his/her C++ codes.
