[Bug c++/23472] New: __attribute__((constructor)) called twice with -funit-at-a-time

[flash at pobox dot com]

The constructor in the code for bug 16717 (below) gets called twice when compiled by 3.3.4 with -
funit-at-a-time, but only once when called without -funit-at-a-time.  This sounds like the opposite of 
bug 16717, which was marked as a 3.4 regression, and supposedly not a problem in 3.3.4.


#include <stdio.h>

void hello (void) __attribute__ ((constructor));

void hello (void) { printf ("Hello world\n"); }

int main (void) { return 0; }
