--- Comment #1 from Manuel López-Ibáñez <manu at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
We could detect the special case where the spelling is the same and report
where each type is declared.

Also, Clang's warning is nicer:

test.c:4:23: warning: declaration of 'struct foo' will not be visible outside
of this function [-Wvisibility]
extern int bar(struct foo *);
                      ^

versus GCC:

test.c:4:23: warning: ‘struct foo’ declared inside parameter list [enabled by
default]
 extern int bar(struct foo *);
                       ^
test.c:4:23: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which
is probably not what you want [enabled by default]
