Subject: 24.0.50; wrong compilation warning

In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.6 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
 of 2011-02-28 on tbox
Windowing system distributor `Colin Harrison', version 11.0.60900031
configured using `configure  '--exec-prefix=/opt/emacs/lucid' '--prefix=/opt/emacs' '--with-x-toolkit=lucid''

the following code:

(if (eval-when-compile (eq 'w32 window-system))
    (defun foo () ...) ; woe32 definition
    (defun foo () ...)) ; unix definition

(defun bar () ... (foo) ... )

results in this byte-compilation warning:

In end of data:
lib.el:2029:1:Warning: the function `foo' is not known to be defined.

I think the warning is wrong because it should be pretty easy for the
compiler to see that `foo' is always defined.
