[RFA] Transparent alias suport part 10: Fix base+offset alias analysis oracle WRT aliases


Hi,
this patch fixes base+offset alias oracles to consider variable aliases.
With this patch and one extra hack I can LTO bootstrap with variale symbol
merging disabled in lto-symtab.c

The basic idea is simple - there is new comparer compare_base_decls which knows
how to handle aliases via symbol table's address_equal_to predicate.
I went through the sources and tried to find all places where we compare bases
for equality and replace the copmarsion by this new predicate.

Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux, looks sane?

	* tree-ssa-alias.c (ptr_deref_may_alias_decl_p): Use compare_base_decls
	(nonoverlapping_component_refs_of_decl_p): Update sanity check.
	(decl_refs_may_alias_p): Use compare_base_decls.
	* alias.c: Include cgraph.h
	(rtx_equal_for_memref_p): Use rtx_equal_for_memref_p.
	(compare_base_decls): New function.
	(base_alias_check): Likewise.
	(memrefs_conflict_p): Likewise.
	(nonoverlapping_memrefs_p): Likewise.
	* alias.h (compare_base_decls): Declare.

	* gcc.c-torture/execute/alias-2.c: New testcase.
