Old Synopsis: g++ seg faluts on compile command

    struct INCOMPLETE;

        void get_incomplete(INCOMPLETE );
        
        void bar(void)
        {
            get_incomplete((INCOMPLETE) *((INCOMPLETE*)foo()));

    };
    ------------------------------------------------------
    pr10635.cpp: In member function `void Foo::bar()':
    pr10635.cpp:11: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
    
    The code is illegal because it is trying to use an
    incomplete type (in the original code: QDateTime was not
    yet defined when TimeLabel::qt_invoke() is compiled,
    probably it's just a matter of including one more header).
    
    Not a regression: 2.95 had an accept-illegal on this, so
    it's slightly better now, the code is rejected (even if not
    gracefully).
