Sounds good to me! Don't think I'd be qualified or have the know how
to make this change but the testsuite above should hopefully be of
use.

Yes that is correct. GCC simply checks if a symbol is part of a comdat
group and if it is, emits .linkonce for it's section. GAS then sees
the directive and moves the symbol corresponding to the section name
to be the first symbol so it becomes the key. See:

The COFF linker errors with a multiple reference error before the
lto-wrapper process is started. If I understand correctly this is due
to how COMDAT works in PE/COFF as the associated string to the COMDAT
section is stored in the symbol table. When using the
--allow-multiple-definition flag as a w

COFF targets currently do not support COMDAT groups. On MinGW targets
GCC instead puts symbols part of a COMDAT group inside of sections
annotated with the .linkonce GAS directive. This leads to GAS
generating a section so that the COMDAT name is the same as the name
of the actual symbol.
