This is a bug in the compiler. I have always warned people that the
unnamed namespace transformation to "static" should happen in the
*back-end*, not in the front-end using language rules, because the
language rules are slightly different in those cases. But, at the
time people said I was considering theoretical problems. The ability
to have the compiler do "would be nice" transformation should not take
over our ability for the compiler to have valid codes and generate
good executable.
