This is -x c++, so that the 'const' implies internal linkage, and
adding 'extern' would be incorrect.

OK, after playing with GCC a bit, I think this is just a bug on their
end. They accept this nonsense, for instance:

  extern const int v6 = 456;
  const int var6 = 123;
  int k = var6;
  extern const int var6 __attribute__((alias("v6")));

... and initialize k to 123. I think they're just completely failing
to check for a preceding definition. I don't think it makes sense to
be bug-compatible with this.
