Does ANSI insist this is legal?

[Ronald Guilmette]

Must a strictly conforming ANSI C implementation be able to generate an
executable program from the following?


	int main ();

	short s = (short) &main;
	char c = (char) &main;

	int main () { return 0; }

The above code makes SystemV assemblers croak and it makes BSD linkers croak.
