Hi,


We hit a problem with cross mingw64-w64 binutils leading to random "multiple defined symbol" errors.

Valgrind helped track this down to uninitialized variable access, which is fixed by the small attached patch, similarly to what was done in PR 17521 for instance.

OK for master? It should probably be applied to release branches too.

Thanks,


Christophe

	* coffcode.h (coff_bigobj_swap_aux_in): Make sure that all fields
	of the aux structure are initialised.
