Such a case happened as a result of translating linux/include/asm-generic/sections.h, where we have

extern __visible const void __nosave_begin, __nosave_end;

Discussed with Edi and Razvan who suggested that this void type could be changed to a pointer type.

I... didn't even know that was valid C. I had to compile it with both gcc and clang before I believed it. Wow.
