    crunchgen: remove -dc from linker invocation
    
    In GNU ld and ld.lld, -dc is used with -r to allocate space to COMMON
    symbols.  It is presumably to work around legacy code which cannot
    handle COMMON symbols in relocatable output.  ld.lld may remove -dc or
    make it a no-op for the 15.0.0 release.
    
    As of 7420b323a014 crunch/crunchide does not require -dc, as the symbol
    hiding technique no longer relied on making symbols local.
    
    In addition -fno-common is now the default in Clang and GCC, so -dc
    serves no purpose as the compiler does not generate COMMON symbols
    anyway.
    
    See https://maskray.me/blog/2022-02-06-all-about-common-symbols for more
    detail on common symbols.
