[patch] Fix PR c++/28710: ICE redeclaring template as non-template


The C++-frontend stumbles over the following invalid code snippet since
GCC 4.0.1:

  template<int> union A;
  struct A;

bug.cc:2: error: redeclaration of 'A<<anonymous> >' as a non-template
bug.cc:2: internal compiler error: tree check: expected class 'type', have 'exceptional' (error_mark) in xref_tag, at cp/decl.c:9703
Please submit a full bug report, [etc.]

The problem is the following code from xref_tag:

    error ("redeclaration of %qT as a non-template", t);
    t = error_mark_node;

After correctly diagnosing the error, the compiler assigns error_mark_node
to t (which is returned later) to indicate failure. The problem is that
the code between this point and the return cannot handle error_mark_nodes.

One way to fix this is to check for error_mark_nodes in more places.
However, I chose to return the error_mark_node directly (which is also
done a couple of lines above).

I also improved the error message a little by adding the position of
the conflicting declaration.

Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
Ok for mainline, 4.1 branch, and 4.0 branch?

Regards,
Volker
