It wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out that newer gcc's
stopped emitting symbol table entries for unreferenced typedefs.
In fact, using HEAD, I get this on my old HPUX box:
(gdb) p sizeof(BulkInsertStateData)
$65 = 8
and this on my Fedora 13 box:
(gdb) p sizeof(BulkInsertStateData)
No symbol "BulkInsertStateData" in current context.
(gcc 2.95.3 and 4.4.5 respectively) So the tools definitely changed
sometime in the last N years.
