C++ Syntax error in linux/include/personality.h

The personality.h header file contains the line

typedef asmlinkage void (*lcall7_func)(struct pt_regs *);

But when compiling a C++ program, asmlinkage is set to 'extern "C"',
and the resulting 'typedef extern "C" ...' is a syntax error. I'm not
sure the linkage of a typedef is meaningful anyway.
