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.
