It defines the return values of __builtin_classify_type. Assuming
that's an extension we still need (it's not used anywhere in the
current source tree, and the documentation mentions it only in the
junk description of how we used to implement stdarg.h) it might be a
useful header to install, and therefore ought to be under the libgcc
exception, in case we decide to do that in the future.
