Test C file with two global variables, and a use of both of them

I've tried compiling with -fsection-anchors in several different releases of
gcc for ARM and now for aarch64, and it seems the optimization is not kicking
in for scenarios where it should.  I looked through the gcc/config directories,
and the support seems to be there.  Here is a simple testcase.  The resulting
assembly (not posted here, according to bug-reporting guidelines) does a full
address-generation for variable a, and then again for variable b.
