The first declaration of "foo1" gives it external linkage, the second
gives it internal linakge, thus the behavior is explicitly undefined.

- However, the declaration only has block scope.

That's not relevant.  Linkage does not track scope.

- In response to these questions I would like specific references to the
- Draft standard.
