<21e> is there as a local stub so that multiple references to the same
.debug_types type can use (smaller) local DIE references instead of all needing
to use DW_FORM_sig8.

The testcase is failing because of the change from "A*" to "struct A*"?  Is
that an important distinction?  If so, could you handle the case of a nameless
typedef specially on your end?
