You continue not to get it.

In this context, DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME has been set because
assemble_external has been called on the symbol.  assemble_external is
*not* a no-op on ia64.  It emits a directive to the assembly output,
using the name of the symbol.  It is *not* safe to rename the symbol
after that has happened.  That you are not seeing a problem on
ia64-linux is either because GAS isn't as picky as the reference
assembler, or because your test case is not stringent enough.
