 The ICE is still present in 3.2.1 and in 3.3 branch.
 
 A definition of a function previously declared as dllimport should
 override the dllimport attribute.
 This happened  in 2.95 (with Mumit Khan's local patches to mingw
 distribution) but does not in 3.x.
 
 Here is a reduced test case:
 ================================================
 /* dllimport.C */
 /* Declare as import from dll */
 extern __attribute__((dllimport)) void foo(void);
 
 /* Use it */
 int bar(void)
 {
   foo();
 }
 
 /* Define it.
    The definition should override the dllimport attribute  */
 void foo (void){}
 
 /* end dllimport.C  */
 ===============================================
 
 G++ -c  dllimport.C
 D:\develop\bugs>G++ -c dllimport.C
 dllimport.C: In function `void foo()':
 dllimport.C:11: internal compiler error: in rest_of_compilation, at
 toplev.c:
    3571
 Please submit a full bug report,
 with preprocessed source if appropriate.
 See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html> for instructions.
 
 
 Note: If the definition of foo is seen _before_ it is used (as below),
 the dllimport attribute is lost and
 compilation is succesful.
 
 extern __attribute__((dllimport)) void foo(void);
 
 void foo (void){}
 
 int bar(void)
 {
   foo();
 }
