Why does the patch and fix have any architecture or OS-dependency?
It's tricky, but it depends on the way are internally stored and handled *multiple* TYPE_DECL for essentially the same typedef. The class layout must involve both such typedef and a few data members. I had a look to testresults, and the patch appears to work for other -linux targets too, not just x86_64-linux, and it's elementary, doesn't add complexity to the code, thus unless it proves to cause regressions on the targets where it appears to work, it would be a pity to revert it. But as I said the issue is weird, after all remained unfixed for 3-4 years, realistically, I don't know if together with all the other issues I have in my TODO, I can promise to understand it in such detail to fix it on AIX too.
