I reverted the patch to cure the bootstrap-failure, but there are
some things that make me wonder:
The function default_conversion is used in rs6000/rs6000-c.c.
The first line of the file reads:
/* Subroutines for the C front end on the POWER and PowerPC architectures.
The file doesn't include cp-tree.h, but only c-tree.h.
But nevertheless the function default_conversion from the C++ frontend
is linked and not the one from the C frontend.
Is that intentional or a bug?
Do we need a langhook to get the right function?
