OK, then I can understand why the quotes make a difference.

Just guessing: this immediately makes __stack a known symbol (with a
known value), while the other version leaves it kind of "pending" for
later processing since the value is not (yet) known.  When the linker
then processes crt1.o, it ends up with a known value for __stack, and
would no longer consider the (still global unknown) value from the
other object module.

But again, it's just guessing.  I don't know enough about the linker's
internals to tell that with authority.
