Miscompilation of glibc by GCC 3.5?

[Andreas Jaeger <aj at suse dot de>]

glibc cannot be compiled by current 3.5 mainline on AMD64 (but same
situation on ia64).  I've reduced the error to the following example:

extern int __internal_getnetgrent_r (void);

static int
internal_getnetgrent_r (void)
{
  return 1;
}

extern __typeof (internal_getnetgrent_r) __internal_getnetgrent_r __attribute__ ((alias ("internal_getnetgrent_r")));

int
test (void)
{
  return internal_getnetgrent_r ();
  
}

With GCC 3.5 of today I get internal_getnetgrent_r undefined:

reger:/tmp:[0]$ /opt/gcc/3.5-devel/bin/gcc -O2 -c test.c
reger:/tmp:[0]$ nm test.o
                 U internal_getnetgrent_r
0000000000000000 T test
reger:/tmp:[0]$ /opt/gcc/3.5-devel/bin/gcc -O2 -c test.c
reger:/tmp:[0]$ nm test.o
                 U internal_getnetgrent_r
0000000000000000 T test

But older GCC versions (3.3 and 3.4.0) produce:

reger:/tmp:[0]$ gcc -O2 -c test.c
reger:/tmp:[0]$ nm test.o
0000000000000000 T __internal_getnetgrent_r
0000000000000000 t internal_getnetgrent_r
0000000000000010 T test
reger:/tmp:[0]$ /opt/gcc/3.4-devel/bin/gcc -O2 -c test.c
reger:/tmp:[0]$ nm test.o
0000000000000000 T __internal_getnetgrent_r
0000000000000000 t internal_getnetgrent_r
0000000000000010 T test

Is this a bug in glibc or in GCC?

3.5 inlines the code but 3.4 not, the difference in the assembler is:

It seems the following statement:
.set    __internal_getnetgrent_r,internal_getnetgrent_r

should not be emitted if the function is inlined.

Should I file a bugreport for 3.5?
