Joseph and Richard,

Is the -Wredundant-decls patch I posted here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-09/msg00006.html

acceptable for the 4_0 and 3_4 branches?

In FreeBSD we are using it in our (gcc version 3.4.4 [FreeBSD] 20050518)
compiler, since it allows us to fix our kernel to properly
forward declare static variables, and not have to incorrectly
forward declare them as extern.

Thanks.
