The commit
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?view=revision&revision=222184
changed a true to false in varasm.c:

 bool
 default_binds_local_p_2 (const_tree exp)
 {
-  return default_binds_local_p_3 (exp, flag_shlib != 0, true, true);
+  return default_binds_local_p_3 (exp, flag_shlib != 0, true, false,
+				  !flag_pic);
 }

where

 default_binds_local_p_3 (const_tree exp, bool shlib, bool weak_dominate,
-			 bool extern_protected_data)
+			 bool extern_protected_data, bool common_local_p)
 {

false means that extern protected data binds locally,
which is wrong if the target can have copy relocations
against it (then the address must be loaded from GOT
otherwise the main executable will see different address).

Currently S/390, ARM and AArch64 targets use this predicate
and the current default is wrong for all of them (they can
have copy relocs) so I changed the default instead of doing
it in a target specific way.

The equivalent x86_64 bug was
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65248
the default was changed for
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65780
now i opened
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66912
for arm and aarch64.

Needs a further binutils patch too to emit R_*_GLOB_DAT
instead of R_*_RELATIVE relocs for protected data.
The glibc elf/tst-protected1a and elf/tst-protected1b
tests depend on this.

Tested ARM and AArch64 targets.
