 Reduced snippet is:
 --------------------------------
 typedef struct
 {
    int dummy;
 } Foo;
 
 __attribute__((dllimport)) Foo issue_error_1;
 __attribute__((dllimport)) Foo issue_error_2;
 __attribute__((dllimport)) Foo issue_error_3;
 __attribute__((dllimport)) Foo f;
 
 void func(void)
 {
     other_func(f);
 }
 
 Foo f = {};

 /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/IMPOST~1/Temp/ccHvVfGR.s: Assembler messages:
 /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/IMPOST~1/Temp/ccHvVfGR.s:21: Error: symbol

 /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/IMPOST~1/Temp/ccHvVfGR.s:22: Error: symbol

 /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/IMPOST~1/Temp/ccHvVfGR.s:23: Error: symbol

 Funny thing is that we get one error for each symbol we declare above (I
 declared 3 and got three errors).
 
 This bug is a regression of the 3.2 branch only. It's fixed on 3.3 and 3.4
 with Mark's patch for pr/7910, but I read that the patch has been reverted.
 I did not understand though if another patch has been prepared or not. GCC
 3.3 build from a CVS snapshot of yesterday can compile it correctly.
