Summary: Until a more advanced version of importing can be implemented for aliases (one that imports an alias as an available_externally definition of the aliasee), skip the narrow subset of cases that was possible but came at a cost: aliases of linkonce_odr functions could be imported because the linkonce_odr function could be safely duplicated from the source module. This came/comes at the cost of not being able to 'home' imported linkonce functions (they had to be emitted linkonce_odr in all the destination modules (even if they weren't used by an alias) rather than as available_externally - causing extra object size). Tangentially, this also was the only reason ThinLTO would emit multiple CUs in to the resulting DWARF - which happens to be a problem for Fission (there's a fix for this in GDB but not released yet, etc). (actually it's not the only reason - but I'm sending a patch to fix the other reason shortly) There's no reason to believe this particularly narrow alias importing was especially/meaningfully important, only that it was /possible/ to implement in this way. When a more general solution is done, it should still satisfy the DWARF concerns above, since the import will still be available_externally, and thus not create extra CUs. Since now all aliases are treated the same, I removed/simplified some test cases since they were testing corner cases where there are no longer any corners.
