I created a PR for that:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14093
I noted in the PR description that applying the same treatment as
what we did here would not be sufficient if the same type name is
used twice in the same objfile for two distinct types. In that case,
I don't know if there is really a solution other than forcing the
user to cast the result to a type using an expression that includes
sufficient information to pick the correct one.
