I saw these as regressions with gcc HEAD.  They PASSed with
gcc HEAD on 2003-02-27 and FAILed with gcc HEAD on 2003-03-15.
The tests PASSed with gcc 2.95.3, gcc 3.2.2, gcc gcc-3_2-branch,
and gcc gcc-3_3-branch.

That's good news.  So it looks like gcc HEAD has gotten sharper about
generating type definitions, exposing a latent problem in the test.
