             hashing the constants to an internal symbol name, and
             relying on the linker comdat support to discard
             duplicate names.  However, if one string is a literal and
             one is a data initializer, one will end up in the .data
             section and one will end up in the .rdata section.  The
             Microsoft linker will combine them into the .data
             section, which seems to be wrong since it might cause the
             literal to change.

             As long as there are no external references to the
             symbols, which there shouldn't be, we can treat the .data
             and .rdata instances as separate symbols.  The comdat
             code in the linker will do the appropriate merging.  Here
             we avoid getting a multiple definition error for one of
             these special symbols.

             FIXME: I don't think this will work in the case where
             there are two object files which use the constants as a
             literal and two object files which use it as a data
             initializer.  One or the other of the second object files
             is going to wind up with an inappropriate reference.  */
