I was just about to ask that.

It's an intermediate case: more local than default visibility, but not
*that* local.  If the function is defined, then it probably does bind
locally, in that nothing can come along later and replace the definition
we saw.

I think the DECL_EXTERNAL case should go before the visibility checks in
default_binds_local_p_1.  A DECL_EXTERNAL entity never binds locally.
