I guess the second (probably even when optimizing). The idea of alias pair handling in current cgraph is to pretend they do not exist and have the code in visibility pass marking them force_output and thus disabling much of optimization around them. For 4.7 we need to rewrite this in favour of proper symbol table that is quite some effort to do ;( I will look into this today. Honza
