If xxx is data, cgo arranges for C.xxx to refer to the C variable,
with the type translated as described above.  To do this, cgo must
introduce a Go variable that points at the C variable (the linker can
be told to initialize this pointer).  For example, if the gmp library
provided

	mpz_t zero;

then cgo would rewrite a reference to C.zero by introducing

	var _C_zero *C.mpz_t

Previously, large builds could see 100%+ build time increase from enabling PGO.
In Go 1.23, overhead should be in the single digit percentages.
