[GCC-XML] Forward declarations

[Fraser Hanson]

gccxml by default doesn't seem to work when the C source includes 
forward declarations.  After some googling and playing with the command 
line options, I can't seem to find a solution to this.  How can I make 
this work?

[fraser at albus:~/work]$ cat test.c
/* static forward declaration */
static char* a;
static char* a = 0;

[fraser at albus:~/work]$ gcc-2.95 -c test.c

[fraser at albus:~/work]$ gcc-3.3 -c test.c

[fraser at albus:~/work]$ gccxml test.c
test.c:3: error: redefinition of `char*a'
test.c:2: error: `char*a' previously declared here

[fraser at albus:~/work]$ gccxml test.c --print
