The problem here is that 'a' should never have been in the symbol table 
in the first place, since it's an uninstantiated template.  It's there 
because of honza's change to store the TLS model in the symbol table, so 
TLS templates end up with varpool entries that, of course, will never be 
referenced.

I guess either we need to avoid putting these templates in the symbol 
table or we need to mark these fake entries somehow.
