That actually is okay.  The practice of using TYPE_DECLs in TYPE_NAME even
for non-typedefs is only done in the c++ frontend (at least in the past
that was so, perhaps that has meanwhile also crept into the other
frontends or general code).  Normally all common code (including
dwarf2*) deals with TYPE_NAME either being an identifier or a decl.


Having the IDENTIFIER_NODE there was causing a crash somewhere in the
C++ front end, hence the change. Unfortunately, since it was about 3
weeks ago that I worked up the patch, I have no recollection of *what*
failed in the C++ front end :(

 Cheers,
 Doug
