-pedantic rejects the code.
This looks like another undocumened extension and how it works too.
Reading the comment in c-decl.c says this is how it should work but this is
just plainly stupid:
/* If a `static' var's size isn't known,
make it extern as well as static, so it does not get
allocated.
If it is not `static', then do not mark extern;
finish_incomplete_decl will give it a default size
and it will get allocated. */
