Right, see make_decl_rtl: /* If this variable belongs to the global constant pool, retrieve the pre-computed RTL or recompute it in LTO mode. */ if (TREE_CODE (decl) == VAR_DECL && DECL_IN_CONSTANT_POOL (decl)) { SET_DECL_RTL (decl, output_constant_def_1 (DECL_INITIAL (decl), decl, 1)); return; } > At least build_constant_desc seems to create a raw SYMBOL_RER using the raw > created label?

I think the problem is that, with your patch, the DECLs are not unified when they have the same DECL_INITIAL (decl), even if they have the same RTL in the end.
