C syntax problem in gcc

[Mo McKinlay]

# For this source code:
# 
#   typedef int x;
#   void proc(int (*x)(void)) {}

gcc 2.95.2 gives the same error; although personally I'm not sure whether
it's correct in its asessment or not. In the short term, though, may I
suggest writing something similar to:

typedef int x;

typedef int (*xfn_t)(void);

void proc(xfn_t x) {}

Which compiles fine.

My gut feeling is that your code is ambiguous, although I'm no expert (and
I'm probably wrong ;-).
