@bjorn3

The implementation of the linkage attribute inside extern blocks defines
symbols starting with _rust_extern_with_linkage_. If someone tries to
also define this symbol you will get a symbol conflict or even an ICE.
By adding an unpredictable component to the symbol name, this becomes
less of an issue.

@bors bors added S-waiting-on-bors

Status: Waiting on bors to run and complete tests. Bors will change the label on completion.

and removed S-waiting-on-author

Status: This is awaiting some action (such as code changes or more information) from the author.
