Thanks, this restores master to a working state quickly.

I don't know either. I have never had to look much deeply into this file.
Git blame points at the commit that added the parser in the first
place (git fb4c6eba):
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2005-03/msg00182.html
But that doesn't include any comment about this either.
Seems like all uses of GDB's make_empty are followed by referring to
the "s_binary" union member via these two macros:
#define d_left(dc) (dc)->u.s_binary.left
#define d_right(dc) (dc)->u.s_binary.right
"s_binary" is documented as being "for other types":
struct demangle_component
{
...
/* For other types. */
struct
{
/* Left (or only) subtree. */
struct demangle_component *left;
/* Right subtree. */
struct demangle_component *right;
} s_binary;
And there's a cplus_demangle_fill_component function to fill
these in. It's already used by cp-name-parser.y in other
cases, via the fill_comp wrapper function.
Using that seems to work, testing the patch below on x86_64 Fedora 23
shows no regressions.

Subject: [PATCH] gdb/cp-name-parser.y: Eliminate make_empty, use
cplus_demangle_fill_component
The demangler exports the cplus_demangle_fill_component function that
clients should use to initialize demangle_component components that
use the "s_binary" union member. cp-name-parser.y uses it in some
places, via the fill_comp wrapper, but not all. Several places
instead use a GDB-specific "make_empty" function. Because this
function does not call any of the demangler "fill" functions, we had
to patch it recently to clear the allocated demangle_component's
"d_printing" field, which is supposedly a "private" demangler field.
To avoid such problems in the future, this commit switches those
places to use "fill_comp" instead, and eliminates the "make_empty"
function.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-03-13 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* cp-name-parser.y (make_empty): Delete.
(demangler_special, nested_name, ptr_operator, array_indicator)
(direct_declarator, declarator_1): Use fill_comp instead of
make_empty.
