That's because of 6.5.2.5#6 which defines the storage duration of compound 
literals to depend on whether they are inside a function:

       [#6] The value of the compound literal is that of an unnamed
       object initialized by the initializer list.  If the compound
       literal occurs outside the body of a  function,  the  object
       has  static  storage  duration;  otherwise, it has automatic
       storage duration associated with the enclosing block.
