Synopsis: strlen/template interaction causes ICE

State-Changed-Why:
    I _can_ reproduce this. The bug goes away, if strlen is 
    renamed, or if its return type is changed to "int", so I
    assume this has something to do with built-ins. However,
    since the code also SegFaults if we include <string.h>, I
    have no reason to believe that this code is wrong. I'd think
    this is a serious regression from previous releases!
    
    For more information: the SegFault occurs here:
    #0  write_builtin_type (type=0x0) at ../../gcc-3.2/gcc/cp/mangle.c:1569
    #1  0x080bbfc5 in write_type (type=0x401888c0)
        at ../../gcc-3.2/gcc/cp/mangle.c:1399
    #2  0x080bc8df in write_template_args (args=0x4019ec80)
        at ../../gcc-3.2/gcc/cp/mangle.c:1789
    #3  0x080bb13f in write_name (decl=0x401aac40, ignore_local_scope=0)
        at ../../gcc-3.2/gcc/cp/mangle.c:719
    #4  0x080bafd3 in write_encoding (decl=0x401aac40)
        at ../../gcc-3.2/gcc/cp/mangle.c:654
    #5  0x080bd586 in mangle_decl_string (decl=0x401aac40)
        at ../../gcc-3.2/gcc/cp/mangle.c:630
    
    The code in question is
          /* TYPE may still be wchar_t, since that isn't in
    	 integer_type_nodes.  */
          if (type == wchar_type_node)
    	write_char ('w');
          else if (TYPE_FOR_JAVA (type))     <<<<< here
    	write_java_integer_type_codes (type);
          else
    and the reason is that type==0. On one frame higher, this
    code is called from
    	  write_builtin_type (TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT (type));
    Here, type is still!=0, but given the nesting of macros,
    this is the point where I leave the rest to someone else.
