Yes, DECLARE needs the __ADDRESSABLE.  In the case where DECLARE
is used, but DEFINE is not, GCC strips the symbol.

Adding __ADDRESSABLE to the DEFINE macro doesn't do any good.  By
definition, the key is defined in the .o file, so the symbol already
exists.

The issue you're seeing is really an issue with the __ADDRESSABLE macro
not creating unique symbol names.  This should fix it:
