Before HJ moved the code, it looked like:

	    case SEC_LINK_DUPLICATES_SAME_CONTENTS:
	      /* FIXME: We should really dig out the contents of both
                 sections and memcmp them.  The COFF/PE spec says that
                 the Microsoft linker does not implement this
                 correctly, so I'm not going to bother doing it
                 either.  */
	      /* Fall through.  */
	    case SEC_LINK_DUPLICATES_SAME_SIZE:
