In D2, readelf now outputs WEAK for foo in all the examples in the original bug report. WEAK is like global but the symbol can be overriden. Is there a situation where this is a problem? If not, can we close this?

AIU in C local symbols are used to declare functions with the same name in
different modules - private functions. They shouldn't override each other and
both should be called by their respective modules.
They have a pitfall when a public function is inlined and ends up calling
private function from a different module, linker rejects such reference to
local symbol from a different module.
