           Summary: Missing function with 'static' declaration inside
                    function.
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: geoffk at gcc dot gnu dot org
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
 GCC build triplet: powerpc-darwin
  GCC host triplet: powerpc-darwin
GCC target triplet: powerpc-darwin

The following testcase:

void
flarm(void)
{
  static void foo();

  foo();
}

static void
foo(void)
{
}

produces a linker error when compiled with -funit-at-a-time and IMA, because 'foo' is not output 
although a reference to it is.  Interestingly, it *does* work if you disable either of these.

The actual command-line I used was
./xgcc -B./ ~/t.c ~/t2.c -S -O -o t.s -funit-at-a-time

with 't.c' containing the above, and 't2.c' containing:
int xxx;

and the assembler output I got was:

.text
        .align 2
        .globl _flarm
_flarm:
        mflr r0
        stw r31,-4(r1)
        stw r0,8(r1)
        stwu r1,-80(r1)
        bl _foo.1
        addi r1,r1,80
        lwz r0,8(r1)
        mtlr r0
        lwz r31,-4(r1)
        blr
.comm _xxx,4

No 'foo' :-(.

(This syntax is a GCC extension, and not a very good one; but I bet there's some other case that 
can trip the underlying bug.)

I expect at least part of the problem is that we have DECL_EXTERNAL and ! TREE_PUBLIC.
