What concerns me is how the compiler is forgetting to emit some of these DECLs.
Regardless of DECL_ARTIFICIAL if the variable is referenced anywhere, it must be
generated. Somehow wrapup_global_declarations is dropping these. We saw
similar problems with static arrays.
I'd like to look at it a bit closer. I've come a long way understanding the
interaction of make_decl_rtl and rest_of_decl_compilation but haven't fingered
the problem yet.
