When I compile with "-O3", GCC now yields warnings for the two changed
lines above:

  [...] warning: ‘header.comp_unit_head::type_offset_in_tu.cu_offset::cu_off’
  may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
      sig_type->type_offset_in_tu = header.type_offset_in_tu;
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  [...] warning: ‘header.comp_unit_head::signature’ may be used
  uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
      sig_type->signature = header.signature;
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I *think* GCC is wrong.  From what I understand, we can only get here if
header.unit_type == DW_UT_type, and then these fields should have been
initialized in read_comp_unit_head before (right?).  But then I wonder
about the effect of the call to create_debug_type_hash_table in
create_all_type_units:

  create_debug_type_hash_table (NULL, &dwarf2_per_objfile->info, types_htab,
				rcuh_kind::COMPILE);

Is that needed?  If not, can we drop section_kind as a parameter to
create_debug_type_hash_table?  When doing so (see untested patch below),
the warnings go away.
