Hi, this patch enables bit more merging by clearing more flags that are unnecesary and differ in practice across different copies of same ODR types.
lto-bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux, OK? * tree.c (fld_incomplete_type_of): Clear TREE_ADDRESSABLE flag. (free_lang_data_in_decl): Set TREE_ADDRESSABLE for public functions and variables; clear DECL_EXTERNAL, TYPE_DECL_SUPPRESS_DEBUG and DECL_MODE on TYPE_DECLs.
