Ya, with a freshly built 4.7 the message is really good now, but with a slight
different typo the message is still there:
Int 2 foo (void)
{
return 1;
}
or here:
int foo 1(void)
{
return 1;
}
So the pain-to-the-eyes diagnose is still hanging around in the sources of
GNU C (GCC) version 4.7.0 20120130 (experimental) (avr)
