rustc crash when trying to reference static export from another crate

rustc just crashes with no useful errors. I guess you're not supposed to be able to do this anyway and it works if either are const instead of static but it shouldn't crash.

Tested with latest nightly and 1.0.0-beta.2 on windows 64-bit.

No longer crashes:

error[E0394]: cannot refer to other statics by value, use the address-of operator or a constant instead
 --> src/main.rs:3:35

  |                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ referring to another static by value

E-needstest.

Triage: not aware of any tests being added.

It seems that the E0394 error was removed in #51110 and the tests were moved from compile-fail and ui/error-codes to run-pass.
