[Bug c++/44579] New: Extern doesn work for const arrays

["igodard at pacbell dot net" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Given file foo.cc:
 const
 int     arr[] = {0};
compiled to foo.o, and file bar.cc:
  extern
  const
  int     arr[];

  int main() {
      return arr[0];
      }
compiled and linked with foo.o, you get:
  s3:~/ootbc/personal/ivan$ g++ bar.cc foo.o
  /tmp/ccsMPoJa.o: In function `main':
  bar.cc:(.text+0x6): undefined reference to `arr'
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


It works if the array isn't const.
