I think the way this is usually done is by emitting two diagnostics.
See for example this error when you redefine a function:

test.cc:14:6: error: functions that differ only in their return type
cannot be overloaded
void g() {}
     ^
test.cc:12:5: note: previous definition is here
int g() {}
    ^
2 errors
