Sorry for late reply, I'm rebuilding my entire Linux system (from
scratch) for Glibc-2.36 and Binutils-2.39 update and I just reached the
mail client.

It might make sense, but then it would not be what we want for per-CPU
symbols.  What we want here is "treat a local symbol as-if it's global",
while each code model may already treat local symbol and global symbol
differently.

Disambiguation: here "local" means "defined in this TU", "global"
otherwise (not "local variable" in C).

I'll send v6 with the name "addr_global" if no objection.
