--- Comment #4 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
On trunk the backend has to use varpool_node::get (decl)->get_constructor ().
But seriously the backend should process the attribute once at compile-time
and then discard it rather than trying to re-do the job at WPA/LTRANS time.
That is, _not_ do this in i386_pe_encode_section_info which is way too late
but instead directly in ix86_handle_selectany_attribute so LTO can see
the decl is one-only (and also the linker is informed correctly).
Still completely a backend bug. IMHO as soon as it's not necessary to
retain the attribute on the decl it's a sign of a good implementation.
