 Correction to last message:
 
 Gcc-2.95 did compile this testcase code without error.
 ===========================================
 /* Declare as import from dll */
 extern __attribute__((dllimport)) void foo(void);
 
 /* Use it */
 int bar(void)
 {
   foo();
 }
 
 /* Define it.
    The definition should override the dllimport attribute  */
 void foo (void){}
 ===========================================
 However, the results of compilation with 2.95 would cause a link
 failure.  Here is the assembler output with 2.95 (using C ).  Linking
 this file would cause undefined reference to __imp__foo (ie, foo
 declared as dllimport).  So the bug is really that the compiler now ICES
 rather than outputting a warning or error (which it didn't do in 2.95
 either).:
 
   .file "dllimport.c"
 gcc2_compiled.:
 ___gnu_compiled_c:
 .text
  .align 4
 .globl _bar
  .def _bar; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef
 _bar:
  pushl %ebp
  movl %esp,%ebp
  subl $20,%esp
  pushl %ebx
  movl __imp__foo,%ebx  <<< undefined symbol with dllimport decoration
  call *%ebx
 L2:
  movl -24(%ebp),%ebx
  movl %ebp,%esp
  popl %ebp
  ret
  .align 4
 .globl _foo
  .def _foo; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef
 _foo:
  pushl %ebp
  movl %esp,%ebp
 L3:
  movl %ebp,%esp
  popl %ebp
  ret
