<pre>The following code causes a linker error when it is compiled on
x86_64-linux-gnu by the current clang trunk at -O1 and above in the 64-bit mode
(but not in the 32-bit mode).
It seems to also affect all earlier versions of clang (at least 3.0 and later).
The code in fn1 is obviously bad, but clang does not issue any warnings
(neither does GCC). Is there a reason for this? Is it because fn1 is unused,
thus dead?
