[Bug gdb/11639] New: Base class type information not accessible in binaries compiled with g++ 4.5.0

["andre dot poenitz at nokia dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org>]

This is the "second issue" in
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10953 but as it seems unrelated I
put it as a separate issue here:

If 'Derived' and 'Base' are setup as in #10953, and there is an additional
function 'Derived::foo()' with the following implementation 

void Derived::foo()
{
    Base *b = this;
    Base &br = *b;
}

then

 'print b'

yields  "$1 = (void *) 0xbfffee38", i.e. the type information for 'b' is
completely lost.

It should print (Base *) 0xbfffee38. 

The problem is not present in g++ 4.4.
