Please read the code (and comment) immediately above that you quoted, 
which saves the qualifiers combined with those specified in the 
declaration, and the subsequent code applying them in the process of 
building up the type.  The bug would probably be that it doesn't also drop 
them if flag_gen_aux_info.  See the named address space patches for 
examples of adding extra type qualifiers.
