[ Rafael and Richard have already addressed the type issue, so I won't
duplicate the arguments here. ]
Notice that free_lang_data is only casually related to LTO. The
purpose of f_l_d is to translate the front end types and symbols into
middle end counterparts. LTO happens to rely on this step to avoid
having to understand front end specific information.
All LTO understands is gimple statements and gimple types. As such,
making middle end type decisions conditional on "LTO mode" goes
against the intended design and means that you are papering over some
other problem.
