Currently we look at the Aliasee to decide what type of export
directive to use. It seems better to use the type of the alias
directly. This is similar to how we handle the alias having the
same address but other attributes (linkage, visibility) from the
aliasee.
With this patch it is now possible to do things like
target datalayout = "e-m:e-i64:64-f80:128-n8:16:32:64-S128"
target triple = "x86_64-pc-windows-msvc"
@foo = global [6 x i8] c"\B8*\00\00\00\C3", section ".text", align 16
@f = dllexport alias i32 (), [6 x i8]* @foo
!llvm.module.flags = !{!0}
!0 = metadata !{i32 6, metadata !"Linker Options", metadata !1}
!1 = metadata !{metadata !2, metadata !3}
!2 = metadata !{metadata !"/DEFAULTLIB:libcmt.lib"}
!3 = metadata !{metadata !"/DEFAULTLIB:oldnames.lib"}
