+When compiling a project using -frepo, .rpo files are written alongside
+the .o file, the symbols either have O or C against them. During final linking,
+the objects can be recompiled with some of the entries tweaked/chosen by the 
+tlink.c code (visible with TLINK_VERBOSE=3), it does this by changing O -> C
+in the .rpo files.
+
+My tests showed that init_repo (cp/repo.c) was correctly calling 
+IDENTIFIER_REPO_CHOSEN against the right identifers and setting the
+chosen bit.
+
+By the time finish_repo() or emit_repo_p() were called, the pointer returned
+by get_identifier() for the symbol marked during init_repo had changed and
+the chosen bit was no longer set. This lead to linking bugs like:
+
+collect: relinking
+collect2: error: '_ZNK6sudoku5ClearINS_8SequenceEEclERS1_' was assigned to 'board.rpo', but was not defined during recompilation, or vice versa
+
+The problem is that the garbage collection is getting called before
+finish_repo() is called and ggc_protect_identifiers is set to false 
+so the identifiers are not preserved. They are recreated but the 
+chosen bits get wiped out which is why the pointer changes and the 
+chosen bit is not set.
+
+The fix is to change ggc_protect_identifiers *after* the finish_repo 
+calls are made.
+
+Reproduction is tricky since you need to trigger the garbage collector at
+just the right moment.
