Description

#![feature(no_core)]
#![no_core]

pub mod foo {
    pub fn bar() {}
}

pub mod baz {
    pub use foo::bar;
}

rustc does not complain about this, but gccrs does. Changing the import to pub use ::foo::bar causes a correct resolution

Research direction

Start by compiling the provided no_core example with rustc and gccrs, then trace name resolution for pub use foo::bar and compare it with the explicitly rooted pub use ::foo::bar. Done means gccrs accepts the unrooted import with the same resolution as rustc; add or run a regression test if the relevant test location is identified.
