No, we don't. The attribute binds to the declaration.

No, we don't. We always turn to the right.
I am quite sure Walter has meant that linkage attribute was not
supposed to be tied to a type by design. If you want to use it,
you need a symbol (==declaration) and there can be only one at
a time.
You don't need a symbol. They also control the ABI, and this
isn't always related to a specific symbol.
