It's the transitivity problem in

  (void (*)(void))(void (*)())(void (*)(int))make_mess

The first conversion is useless as is the second.  But

  (void (*)(void))(void (*)(int))make_mess

is not useless.  That's of course a bug in the type system as implemented
as we rely on

     1) useless_type_conversion_p is transitive.
        If a < b and b < c then a < c.

So we either have to revert the fix for PR46076 or need to make
conversions to unprototyped function pointers not generally useless.

I'm going for reverting the fix for 4.6.
