Indeed, it seems to me that global_bindings_p should go, clearly the LTO does
not preserve its behaviour in any sane way.
I am however completely missing the point of this langhook and doc is not
exactly
informative either:
/* Returns nonzero if we are in the global binding level. Ada
returns -1 for an undocumented reason used in stor-layout.c. */
What is the purpose of this hook?
