Suggested resolution:

A possible resolution would be to add (cv-qualified) before void in

The parameter list (void) is equivalent to the empty parameter list. Except for this special case, (cv-qualified) void shall not be a parameter type (though types derived from void, such as void*, can).

9.3.4.6 [dcl.fct]/2 restricts the use of void as parameter type, but does not mention CV qualified versions. Since void f(volatile void) isn't a callable function anyway, 9.3.4.6 [dcl.fct] should also ban cv-qualified versions. (BTW, this follows C)
