Problem with redundant typedefs (ref KDE and qt-1.33)

[colin@field.medicine.adelaide.edu.au]

Here's a problem in egcs-2.91.26 19980502 (gcc2 ss-980401 experimental) which 
contributes to the difficulty compiling KDE and qt-1.33

The redundant typedef causes a different prototype to be emitted.  This causes 
problems when you're compiling code into a library and then trying to access 
the method from elsewhere, as the two prototypes may not match (if there are 
redundant typedefs.)

This problem crops up in qt-1.33's qstring.

test.cpp:

typedef unsigned int uint;

#ifdef BREAKIT
typedef unsigned int uint;
#endif

int mid(uint a, uint b)
{
}
