[Bug c/27781] New: weak-attribute over-optimisation with 4.1

["jan dot kiszka at web dot de" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

file-a.c:
---------
void __attribute__((weak)) func(void)
{
    /* no code */
}

main()
{
    func();
}


file-b.c:
---------
void func(void)
{
    printf("func\n");
}


# gcc -c file-a.c file-b.c -O2
# gcc -o program file-a.o file-b.o

The program will not print "func", because the call to func() was optimised out
during the compilation of file-a.c. This happens with -O2, but not when using
-fno-unit-at-a-time. First sighted in 4.1.
