Where does that come from?
There is a section numbered 3.5 and titled Program and linkage. It
says in paragraph 4
A name having namespace scope has external linkage if it is the name of
-- an object or reference, unless it has internal linkage; or
-- a function, unless it has internal linkage; or
-- a named class (clause 9), or an unnamed class defined in a
typedef declaration in which the class has the typedef name for
linkage purposes (7.1.3); or
-- a named enumeration (7.2), or an unnamed enumeration defined in a
typedef declaration in which the enumeration has the typedef name
for linkage purposes (7.1.3); or
-- an enumerator belonging to an enumeration with external linkage; or
-- a template, unless it is a function template that has internal
linkage (clause 14); or
-- a namespace (7.3), unless it is declared within an unnamed namespace.
And in paragraph 8, it continues:
Names not covered by these rules have no linkage. Moreover, except
as noted, a name declared in a local scope (3.3.2) has no linkage. A
name with no linkage (notably, the name of a class or enumeration
declared in a local scope (3.3.2)) shall not be used to declare an
entity with linkage. If a declaration uses a typedef name, it is the
linkage of the type name to which the typedef refers that is considered.
those clearly indicates to me that the linkage of a CONST_DECL
depends on the linkage of its enumeration.

Please look at section 3.5 before fixing this.
(besides an numeration does not have storage).
