Hello,
In the code below I am trying to explicitly instantiate two different
partial specializations of a template struct with static function and
I expect to see two global weak symbols (W) that correspond to
different instantiations of that function in the object file. But for
some reason I see only one symbol that corresponds to the first
specialization. I observe this behavior on all gcc versions starting
from the gcc-10.01 (I checked it using godbolt -
https://godbolt.org/z/fr5WKar1j , I hope links are allowed here).
Also, it looks like Clang and MSVC produce both symbols.
The reproducer:
```
$ cat main.cpp
#include <concepts>
template<typename T>
struct Struct {
static void func();
};
template<std::same_as<int> T>
struct Struct<T> {
static void func() {}
};
template<std::same_as<double> T>
struct Struct<T> {
static void func() {}
};
template struct Struct<double>;
template struct Struct<int>;
$ g++ -c ./main.cpp -std=gnu++20 -o main.o
$ nm -C main.o
0000000000000000 W Struct<int>::func()
```
GCC version that I used to reproduce the problem locally:
```
$ g++ -v
Using built-in specs.

I am not sure if this will be useful, but here is what the symbols
look like when compiled with clang:
```
$ /usr/lib/llvm-13/bin/clang -c ./main.cpp -std=c++20 -o main_clang.o
$ nm -C main_clang.o
0000000000000000 W Struct<double>::func()
0000000000000000 W Struct<int>::func()
```
