This contradicts 6.9.2 paragraph 3: "If the declaration of an identifier 
for an object is a tentative definition and has internal linkage, the 
declared type shall not be an incomplete type.".  (Undefined behavior 
since it's not in a Constraints section, so diagnostic not required, but 
as a quality of implementation matter it should be diagnosed at least with 
-pedantic.)
