Actually, I was hoping for something more like a merge of the two
copies of dwarf2.h. Don't feel obligated to do this, though; the
problem predates your patch.

ISTR that the type-related structures are (supposedly) space
sensitive. But, according to pahole, there are some free bits in
struct main_type. So, I would suggest packing the field in there.
Aside from that I don't know of any reason it might be a problem.
