I think that at some point the mangling has to change.  It's valid to
declare these functions with and without an attribute.  So, we have to
do something.

I agree that an orthogonal improvement would be to stop abusing
TYPE_CONST and TYPE_VOLATILE for these attributes and record them on
TYPE_ATTRIBUTES.  But, that would be much bigger than Jason's patch.
