Let me rephrase: if the only purpose of this line is to mimic what the
C compiler does with common variables and the Ada compiler doesn't
need common variables, let's delete the line.
So the question that would be good to answer is: does the Ada compiler
need common variables?
I have non clue what a "common variable" might mean.
What we are discussing is what object file section each variable
should go into. And what I'm saying is that this shouldn't depend on
whether a variable was written in C or Ada: it should only be a function
of language-independent attributes.
