Could I please get you to solve this properly?  Kill the one and only
use of this function in printcmd.c via value_from_vtable_info.  If you
simply cast the pointer to a pointer to the proper base type, found via
value_rtti_type, this function can die.  It should just work (and/or be
more useful than the current behavior).
