Reading paragraph 7.5 [Linkage specifications] in the standard it looks like
the compiler is right; "... Two function types with different language
linkage are distinct types even if they are otherwise identical ...". Or am
I (as usual, perhaps) misinterpreting the standard? (How come that the
compiler is not complaining when we call C functions from C++ :-)
If this is correct, perhaps implementing a fix would be in place?
