ISO C90 subclause 6.5, first syntax production (I don't have ANSI C89 to
hand to find the subsection number there) is quite clear.  The declaration
specifiers can't be empty (although they might have just a type qualifier
or a storage class specifier).  Function definitions have their own syntax
(6.7.1) in which the declaration specifiers are optional.
