Does ANSI insist this is legal?

Must a strictly conforming ANSI C implementation be able to generate an
executable program from the following?
int main ();
short s = (short) &main;
char c = (char) &main;
int main () { return 0; }
The above code makes SystemV assemblers croak and it makes BSD linkers croak.
