[Bug fortran/30922] New: IMPORT fails for same symbol in multiple interface bodies of same interface block

["burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

IMPORT fails, if one imports the same symbol in multiple interface bodies of
same interface block.

Found by Christopher D. Rickett,

Test case:
--------------------------------------------
module test_import
  implicit none

  type :: my_type
     integer :: data
  end type my_type

  interface
     integer function func1(param)
       import :: my_type
       type(my_type) :: param
     end function func1

     integer function func2(param)
       import :: my_type
       type(my_type), value :: param
     end function func2
  end interface
end module test_import
--------------------------------------------

Error message:

     integer function func1(param)
                                1
test_import.f03:4.17:

  type :: my_type
                2
Error: The type my_type cannot be host associated at (1) because it is
blocked by an incompatible object of the same name at (2)


Simple fix:

------------------------------

Currently, "IMPORT :: symbol" copies the symbol like follows (simplified code;
decl.c, gfc_match_import):
-------------------
          gfc_find_symbol (name, gfc_current_ns->parent, 1, &sym)

          st = gfc_new_symtree (&gfc_current_ns->sym_root, name);
          st->n.sym = sym;
          sym->refs++;
          sym->ns = gfc_current_ns;
-------------------

Possible implementation alternative, suggested by Paul Thomas,

If we change the implementation, we could re-add
