The following adds no_icf handling for variables where the attribute was rejected. It also fixes the check for no_icf by checking both the source and the targets decl.
Bootstrap / regtest running on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. This would solve the AVR issue with merging of "progmem" attributed and non-"progmem" attributed variables if they'd also add no_icf there. OK? Thanks, Richard.
