Awesome. I think I fixed all the blocking MC issues and I am now
coding pr10367, so we should have all the parts in place for windows
rtti soon :-)

My current idea for global alias is to split GlobalValue into
GlobalName (or GlobalAddress?) and GlobalValue. GlobalAlias would
inherit from GlobalName and not have a alignment or section of its
own. With that than it becomes easy to say that a GlobalAlias is just
an offset into a GlobalValue with some different information (linkage,
visibility, etc).

Cheers,
Rafael
