Also reproduced with a plain C test-case:
...
$ cat whole-program.c
static int aaa;

int
main (void)
{
  return 0;
}
$ gcc-12 whole-program.c -g -flto -O2
$ nm a.out | grep aaa
$
...

Corresponding DIE:
...
 <1><104>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_variable)
    <105>   DW_AT_name        : aaa
    <109>   DW_AT_decl_file   : 1
    <10a>   DW_AT_decl_line   : 1
    <10b>   DW_AT_decl_column : 12
    <10c>   DW_AT_type        : <0x110>
...

Difference in behaviour:
....
$ gdb -q -batch ./a.out -ex "print aaa"
No symbol "aaa" in current context.
$ gdb -q -batch -readnow ./a.out -ex "print aaa"
$1 = <optimized out>
...
