[Bug c/35092] New: Global variable reference not resolved with -Os option

["lee_merrill at yahoo dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

When the -Os option is specified, a global variable reference can generate code
that has a relocation-style entry, i.e. "load register A with 0x30", which
causes an invalid pointer reference. This was found in Linux kernel version
2.6.16.27-0.9-smp in Suse, compiling a driver, which seems to have the -Os
option turned on by default.

The following code duplicates the problem, type "make" and run "btifc" to get a
core dump.

Makefile:
CFLAGS = -Wall -Werror -g -Os

btifc: fcInclude.h fcMain.c lxTracing.c
        cc -o btifc $(CFLAGS) fcMain.c lxTracing.c

clean:
        rm -f btifc core*
