Ah, I see. I've just looked up the semantics and GlobalMerge probably
won't work, I agree.

I'm now struggling to see how GCC justifies it. What if a different
translation-unit declared those variables in a different order? I also
can't get the same behaviour here, do you have a more complete
command-line?
