[Bug debug/27160] New: Debugging output forgets scope for typedefs.

[drow at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Compile this simple code with g++ -g.  I tried 3.3, 4.0, and 4.1 compilers.

namespace bar
{
   struct whatever
     {
        int someval;
     };
   typedef whatever zot;
};

int main()
{
  bar::whatever b;
  bar::zot c;
  return 1;
}

The debugging information will reveal that "whatever" is in bar, but not "zot".
 In fact, "zot" will appear to be defined in main instead.  This prevents the
debugger from e.g. "ptype bar::zot".
