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.
