I found this a bit hard to read/understand.
Perhaps first describe what it does and then, before "This flag is
enabled..." note that "This is similar to the ICF optimization performed
by the Gold linker".
"Symbols proved" (plural) vs "to corresponding symbol" seems to miss
an an "a" as in "a corresponding symbol". Alas, how is that one
determined? Is this more "...are merged into one", from the user's
perspective?
What does it mean to "sensitively decide for usage of alias, thunk,
or local redirection"?
