There are only 2 assemblers supported on ia64, GNU assembler and Intel
assembler. If GNU assembler is used, assemble_external is a no-op on Linux.
On HPUX, the actual undefined symbol references are outputed at the very
end. This patch

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-11/msg02511.html

will make Linux + Intel assembler to do the same. So, on ia64, it should be
OK to rename a symbol even after assemble_external is called as long as
it hasn't been actually used, in which case, you should get

x.i:8: warning: foo renamed after being referenced in assembly
