[Bug c/29299] New: gcc "used" attribute has no effect on local-scope static variables

[jeremy at goop dot org]

Adding the "used" attribute to locally-scoped static variables has no effect,
and they are not emitted into the output .s file.

I am using this in combination with the "section" attribute so I can collect
the data together; it doesn't matter to me that there's no useful mapping
between the C name and the assembler name.
