[Bug c++/21731] New: Loses two declartions for the price of one

[igodard at pacbell dot net]

The code:

class A {};
extern A* a;

namespace {
    A* a;
    }

int main() {
    a = 0;
    }

gets you:

~/ootbc/members/src$ g++ foo.cc
foo.cc: In function `int main()':
foo.cc:9: error: `a' undeclared (first use this function)
foo.cc:9: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each
function it appears in.)
