+We test whether we can define symbols in a linker script and have them exported
+to the output file symbol table.
+
+This test uses a single X86-64 input object, simple.o, created with the
+following X86-64 assembly code:
+
+*** simple.S:
+
+(command line clang -c simple.S -o simple.o)
+
+      .text
+      main:
+        mov $1, %eax
+        movq $1, %rdi
+        movq $msg, %rsi
+        movq $14, %rdx
+        syscall
+        ret
+
+        .globl _start
+      _start:
+        call  main
+        mov $60, %eax
+        syscall
+        ret
+
+      .data
+      msg: .asciz "Hello, World!\n"
+
+
+We use the following linker script for this test:
