Hi Honza & Jakub,

@Honza: please look at the decl alias handling of the actual patch.

a minor update – testing only on gcn did turn out to be insufficient:
nvptx does not support alias, cf. PR 97102 + 97106; hence xfailed.

I also had a typo in one 'dg-do run' but as -O0 is set explicitly,
'dg-do run' does not make sense. (no dg-do = run once, dg-do run =
run with multiple options, dg-do compile = compile only).
Hence, I have now removed the dg-do line.
