            Bug ID: 20948
           Summary: #pragma weak "forward declaration" doesn't always work

          Hardware: PC
                OS: FreeBSD

Test case

#pragma weak _foo = foo

can be used before foo is declared, provided that foo is defined as non-static.
However, if foo is static, clang emits a warning and no weak symbol is
generated:

  $ clang -c -o forward.o forward.c
  forward.c:1:14: warning: weak identifier 'foo' never declared
  #pragma weak _foo = foo
             ^
  1 warning generated.

gcc 4.7 appears to generate the expected result in both cases.
