; Test that we don't replace an alias with its aliasee when simplifying GEPs.
; In this test case the transformation is invalid because it replaces the
; reference to the symbol "b" (which refers to whichever instance of "b"
; was chosen by the linker) with a reference to "a" (which refers to the
; specific instance of "b" in this module).
