ICE: internal compiler error: Unknown(Foo) #150750

Description

@bushilushan

I searched using "internal compiler error: Unknown" as the key term and didn't seem to find any similar issues. Is this a new one?

Code

#![feature(repr_simd)]

const C: usize = 16;

#[repr(simd)]
pub struct Foo([u8; C]);

unsafe extern "C" {
    static VAR: Foo;
}

fn main() {}
