GDB uses it to find the virtual table associated with the current type.
It's used in two "custom" ways by GCC and GDB:
/* GNU extension: Record what type this method came from originally. */
/* GNU extension: Record what type our vtable lives in. */
Non-GDB readers will presumably ignore this information. Why do you
consider this a bug?
