build_decl() return value ignored in java/decl.c

[Fergus Henderson <fjh at cs dot mu dot oz dot au>]

In init_decl_processing() in java/decl.c, around lines 600-700, there
are quite a few calls to build_decl() that ignore the return value.
For example:

 |   methodtable_type = make_node (RECORD_TYPE);
 |   layout_type (methodtable_type);
 |   build_decl (TYPE_DECL, get_identifier ("methodtable"), methodtable_type);

But the documentation for build_decl() seems to indicate that
it has no side effects:

 | /* Create a DECL_... node of code CODE, name NAME and data type TYPE.
 |    We do NOT enter this node in any sort of symbol table.

So what's the purpose of those calls?
