            Bug ID: 90470
           Summary: internal compiler error after multiple declaration of
                    alias in a custom section
           Product: gcc
           Version: 10.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: guillaume.bertholon at hotmail dot fr
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 46352

stderr output of 'gcc -v -c bug.c'

I have recently found a way to generate internal compiler errors with this
simple 2 line code snippet:
extern int alias __attribute__((alias("target")));
extern int alias __attribute__((section(".custom")));

While I admit that this minimal non-working example is useless (and would
generate a compile time error anyway), the exact same bug also occurs inside
more meaningful code with weak aliases inside custom sections, or just when
repeating the same alias declaration twice:

int target __attribute__((section(".custom")));
extern int alias __attribute__((alias("target"),section(".custom")));
extern int alias __attribute__((alias("target"),section(".custom")));

At least versions 10.0 (Debian 20190508-1), 8.3 and 6.3 are affected, 4.9 isn't
and compiles successfully the second code snippet above.
You can see as attachment the full error message with version 10 after
executing 'gcc -v -c bug.c', where bug.c is a file containing the second code
snippet (exact same output for the first one, apart from code quoting).
