I can't find any thing about re declare function twice with different
arguments in the standard. So I think it's a non defined behavior.
Currently, what clang does is always pick the latest attribute it sees.

my change is to fix the case that one function has multiple format_arg
attribute

and your suggestion is essentially about check the behavior when people
define a function with different attribute (it doesn't have to be
format_arg, it could be any of the attributes)

Unless you could confirm current clang behavior is desired (always use the
latest declaration), I don't think it's good to write a test case for
non-defined behavior. Even we really want to do it, I want to do it in a
separate patch because people then could revert it separately.
