The following code produced an invalid warning from gcc:

#include <stdio.h>

static void
x( void )
{
    printf( "hello\n" );
}

int
main()
{
    /*static*/ void x( void );

    x();
    return 1;
}

The compilation command was gcc -Wall -O -c t.c.
This error shows up with the gcc patched for protoization and an unpatched
gcc. The compiler was built from the configuraion given by:
	config.gcc sun4-os4.
