My first opinion is that GCC should implement the standard
and copy Clang by producing an error message.

Gating this change on pedantic will mean very few people
will see it.

I guess a run through the gcc test suite (all 62,000 C test cases)
will provide a strong clue on how this change might impact
real code.

It might also be the case that this change is a warning in the
upcoming release and an error in the one after that.
