An externally defined symbol that is referenced from a static function or variable whose section is included in the reference graph should be included in the intermediate representation's symbol table that is presented to the link-time optimizer for recompilation.

For example, if t1.c contains a static function definition that references RTS functions expf and logf and the address of the static function is made available in a data object that is externally accessible, then the expf and logf symbols should be recognized and included in t1.o's intermediate representation module as legitimate unresolved symbol references.
