Okay. I think the above would actually be the wrong location for a fix because 
in this case we don't need to go down the path that synthesizes the parameters 
because we already know them for both `old` and `new` in this situation.

Instead I think the change would have to be in 
`Sema::MergeCompatibleFunctionDecls` to do something like.

```lang=c++
  // If New is a K&R function definition it will be marked
  // as not having a prototype. If `Old` has a prototype
  // then to "merge" we should mark the K&R function as having a prototype.
  if (!getLangOpts().CPlusPlus && Old->hasPrototype() && !New->hasPrototype())
    New->setHasInheritedPrototype(); 
```

What I'm not sure about is if this is semantically the right thing to do. 
Thoughts?
