Please add a testcase. Also I wonder why it isn't better to generalize
/* Variables declared 'const' without an initializer
have zero as the initializer if they may not be
overridden at link or run time. */
if (!DECL_INITIAL (real_decl)
&& (DECL_EXTERNAL (decl) || decl_replaceable_p (decl)))
return error_mark_node;
