That was talking about:
int errno;
extern  int __libc_errno __attribute__ ((alias ("errno")));

where I have no problems with gcc warning about it (although the
warning could warn instead about alias to common symbol).

But GCC warns even for:
int errno __attribute__((nocommon));
extern  int __libc_errno __attribute__ ((alias ("errno")));

and that is IMHO a bug.
