>Description:
A qualifier 'K' results rather stupidly in a 'const'
being appended to whatever the following type.  The
demangler doesn't take into account that types exist
of a 'prefix' and a 'postfix' part, where the 'const'
needs to be added in between.

Example:

/usr/src/gcc/gcc-cvs-3.0/libiberty>gcc-3.0 -DSTANDALONE_DEMANGLER -I../include cp-demangle.c dyn-string.c xmalloc.c xexit.c -o c++filt
cp-demangle.c: In function `demangle_char':
cp-demangle.c:968: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

/usr/src/gcc/gcc-cvs-3.0/libiberty>./c++filt _Z1fKPFiiE
f(int (*)(int) const)

Which should have been
f(int (* const)(int))

This could be considered as a regression from 2.95.3
as this does handle the 'C' qualifier correctly.
For example:

/usr/src/gcc/gcc-2.95.3/libiberty>../../gcc-2.95.3-objdir/gcc/c++filt __1ACPFi_i
A::A(int (*const)(int))
