This is a minor issue in the C FE, where it on an invalid code generated bogus FUNCTION_DECL with ARRAY_TYPE as a type -- and gimplifier can't digest that.
I think the code in finish_decl, whereby we update the type of shadowed global variables should not overwrite a type of totally unrelated decl.
