As I wrote in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81385#c9 :

Looking at the C++ standard (the out-of-date 1998 version, I admit), as far as I
can tell a conformant compiler is required to give a diagnostic for this.  In
particular, section 7.5 [dcl.link] clause 1 says that function types with
different linkage are different types, section 4 [conv] does not describe any
standard conversions that could convert between them, and section 5.2.2
[expr.call] clause 4 and section 8.5 [dcl.init] clauses 12 and 14 seem to
require that such a conversion exist.

In particular, the last says that the conversion is ill-formed, which 1.4
[intro.compliance] says requires a diagnostic.
