I think the check for external linkage is better done in `Sema::CheckFunctionDeclaration()` so that other semantic checking of the function is done first. See the call to `CheckSYCLEntryPointFunctionDecl()` there; perhaps it makes sense to replicate that redirection to a `CheckSYCLExternalFunctionDecl()` function defined here.
