This is what happens if you accidentally put a stray semicolon in a
parameter-type-list:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat > t.c
int foo(int x;) { }
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gcc-4.0 --version
gcc-4.0 (GCC) 4.0.3 20051201 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-5)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gcc-4.0 -c t.c
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $?
0
Earlier versions of GCC noticed the syntax error, though produced the
somewhat delphic "parameter "x" has just a forward declaration".
