>Description:
When gcc is run on the following one-line input:

  extern int __attribute__((__mode__(__SI__))) random();

it dies:

  tmp.c:2: Internal compiler error in layout_decl, at stor-layout.c:313

This situation arises from a source-to-source translator,
where random's return type is declared to be "int32_t",
which itself is a typedef involving __mode__(__si__).
The s2s tool translates typedefs away, and when it prints
the result of its processing, the above is the result.
