// In some build configurations we pass --detect-odr-violations to the
// gold linker.  This causes it to flag weak symbol overrides as ODR
// violations.  Because ODR only applies to C++ and not C,
// --detect-odr-violations ignores symbols not mangled with C++ names.
// By changing our extension points to be extern "C", we dodge this
// check.
