This file compiles but doesn't link on alpha:

#include <stdlib.h>

void foo(int);
static void bar(int) __attribute__ ((noreturn));

void foo(int k) {
	if (k) {
		exit(k);
	}
}

static void bar(int) __attribute__ ((alias("foo")));

int main(int k) {
	if (k < 0) {
		bar(1);
	}
	return k;
}

What happens is that gcc generates a reference to bar..ng but the alias
only exists for bar.  The problem goes away when bar is not declared as
static.

I've reproduced this problem with gcc-3.0 as well.
