Part of the problem here is that I haven't figured out yet where to

Some of these things plain don't matter: if the middle-end has no
knowledge of it, and it's not referenced by any langhooks, then it's not
relevant to code generation. The only impact is on generated debug
information from the LTO front-end, and there we may eventually want to
just copy the debug information we were given as input, rather than try
to regenerate it.
Yup. I noted that dwarf2out.c doesn't, in fact, ever generate the mutable
attribute anyway.
Same problem here. At this point, those tags are long gone; what we
have is whatever tree structures they're going to expand into, which I
haven't figured out yet, so I don't know how to test for them.
OK, I understand. But, if they're long gone, we don't really need the
comment here; it's wherever we're not translating them into tree
structure that we should handle them, right?
No, there still probably needs to be some processing in the parent class of the
decls or BINFO objects or whatever else these things expand into, in order to
stuff the information away somewhere in the type object for the class.
