Thanks for the suggestion.
I went looking in this direction, and came across this doc (
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/definition ) where it's suggested to
use unnamed namespaces to work around odr problems with types.
And indeed, this patch fixes the warnings:

That's a fix on the gdb side. So I guess this PR on the opcodes side is about
making that patch unnecessary, which would AFAIU involve generating uniquely
named types in cgen.
Of course, this PR could be closed as resolved-wontfix or some such if that's
deemed not a good idea or unnecessary.
