Sure, it's pretty pointless to do this for tiny constants. But it
seems to be a logical extension of string constant joining. And
many toolchains have been doing this for a long time (try
printf("%p\n", "foo") from two different source files linked to
the same executable -- you may need to compile with -O).
Maybe someone orthogonalized the linker a bit too much. I still
think it's not forbidden by the various C standards.
Bye,
 Mike
