Commit Message

GCC wrongly accepts [*] in old-style parameter definitions because
because parm_flag is set on the scope used for those definitions and,
unlike the case of a prototype in a function definition, there is no
subsequent check to disallow this invalid usage.  This patch adds such
a check.  (At this point we don't have location information for the
[*], so the diagnostic location isn't ideal.)

Bootstrapped with no regressions for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Applied to 
mainline.
