Well, I did that in my tree. It means we can get rid of a couple of dozen
lines in init_decl_processing, but I decided that this doesn't really
clean up the code at all - in most cases we're just overriding the type
information that it sets with the Java-mandated ones. Although that means
the Java front end needs to mirror changes made to
build_common_tree_nodes, it is probibly just as bad to rely on certain
behaviours from it.

Here's the simpler patch which I'm checking now. I'm going to check it in
under obvious fix.
