I just realized I wasn't clear -- it calls the (wrong)

This is why mixing ABI and mangling in one entity is bad. And
why overloading extern(C) functions is compile-time error in
C++.
I think this is another form of the unclear qualifier binding
problem.
Qualifier bind to symbol : mangling.
Qualifier bind to type : calling convention.
