For mangled lib functions, my patch does not change how they are handled. They still go through getFunction.

For unmangled lib functions, I only transform them if they are declarations. In post-linking pass, they are already linked and are not declarations, therefore they stay unchanged.

I am wondering why there will be link failure.
