It sounds like the function should be tied off to me. (In the C++
front-end, we have push_to_top_level for this kind of thing; it says
"stop what you're doing here, and let's go back to declaring global
things for a while", but I don't the C front-end has that.)
start_decl fundamentally depends on its context to do its job, so I
think it's doing what it's supposed to do.

Lovely.
