:Apparently, it is not valid C to define something as extern
:and then later on static in the same file, like:
:
:extern struct foo bar;
:static struct foo bar = { .... };

:What do people think of the following patch to fix it?

:
Is this a GCC-ism or a standards related issue that 4.0 now addresses?
