Hi Martin,
> I've noticed quite significant package failures caused by the revision.
How significant? Is it mostly the common mistake of forgetting extern?
> Would you please consider documenting this change in porting_to.html
> (and in changes.html) for GCC 10 release?
Sure, I already had a patch for changes.html - I've added an initial portin=
g_to
as well:
[wwwdocs] Document -fcommon default change
Add an entry for the default change. Passes the W3 validator.

General Improvements
+
The following GCC command line options have been introduced or improved=
.
+
+
GCC now defaults to -fno-common. In C, global variable=
s with
+ multiple tentative definitions will result in linker errors.
+ Global variable accesses are also more efficient on various targets.
+
+
=20
The following built-in functions have been introduced.
+The GCC 10 release series differs from previous GCC releases in
+a number of ways. Some of these are a result
+of bug fixing, and some old behaviors have been intentionally changed
+to support new standards, or relaxed in standards-conforming ways to
+facilitate compilation or run-time performance.
+
+
+
+Some of these changes are user visible and can cause grief when
+porting to GCC 10. This document is an effort to identify common issues
+and provide solutions. Let us know if you have suggestions for improvement=
s!

C language issues
+
+
Default to -fno-common
+
+
+ A common mistake in C is omitting extern when declaring a g=
lobal
+ variable in a header file. If the header is included by several files it
+ results in multiple definitions of the same variable. In previous GCC
+ versions this error is ignored. GCC 10 defaults to -fno-common,
+ which means a linker error will now be reported.
+ To fix this, use extern in header files when declaring glob=
al
+ variables, and ensure each global is defined in exactly one C file.
+ As a workaround, legacy C code can be compiled with -fcommon.
+
+
+ int x; // tentative definition - avoid in header files
+
+ extern int y; // correct declaration in a header file
+
