Blah.

Hmm, I was considering suggesting that just on stylistic grounds,
but decided it was too nitpicky even for me.
Do you want me to test it on prairiedog?

I've got -fno-common turned on on my other macOS animals, but in
those cases I did it to detect bugs not fix them. I'm not sure
whether prairiedog's ancient toolchain has that switch at all,
or whether it behaves the same as in more recent platforms.
Still, that gcc.gnu.org message you cite is of the right era.
