Re: [PATCH] ld: testsuite: Associate C identifiers with the corresponding assembler or linker symbols in a target-independent manner.

Jan Dubiec’s patch, which addresses issues with leading underscores in C symbol names across different targets, has been applied to the binutils ld testsuite. The change aims to correctly link C identifiers with their corresponding assembler or linker symbols in a manner that is independent of the target architecture’s conventions.
