Bug#108036: gcc: gcc generates ..ng references for static aliases

[herbert]

Package: gcc
Version: 1:2.95.3-7
Severity: normal
Architecture: alpha

This file compiles but doesn't link on alpha:

#include <stdlib.h>

void foo(int);
static void bar(int) __attribute__ ((noreturn));

void foo(int k) {
        if (k) {
                exit(k);
        }
}

static void bar(int) __attribute__ ((alias("foo")));

int main(int k) {
        if (k < 0) {
                bar(1);
        }
        return k;
}

What happens is that gcc generates a reference to bar..ng but the alias
only exists for bar.  The problem goes away when bar is not declared as
static.

I've reproduced this problem with gcc-3.0 as well.
