There is a bigger question here.  One invariant that is useful is  
that there is only a single decl that corresponds to a given global  
variable.  It sounds like the objc front-end is making two GCC decl  
nodes for the same global variable?  If so, is there a way to fix the  
objc front-end to merge them?
