foo is still emitted, when you'd think you could garbage-collect it, since the
array that references it has fallen out of existance.  If you use
-fvisibility=hidden instead of -fwhole-program the result is even worse, both
foo and array are emitted even though the resulting DSO does not give any
access to them.
