That is strange. The comment in tree.h says:

/* In a VAR_DECL, FUNCTION_DECL, NAMESPACE_DECL or TYPE_DECL,
   nonzero means name is to be accessible from outside this translation unit.
   In an IDENTIFIER_NODE, nonzero means an external declaration
   accessible from outside this translation unit was previously seen
   for this name in an inner scope.  */
#define TREE_PUBLIC(NODE) ((NODE)->base.public_flag)

So, it should not be different. It's enough to set TREE_STATIC(decl) = 1, then
you don't necessarily need to set TREE_PUBLIC to make the variable global.
