OK, here is the second part that deals with reference types.

2007-05-17  Joel Brobecker  <brobecker@adacore.com>

        * gdbtypes.c (make_reference_type): Preserve the type chain
        and set the length of all the variants of the pointer type.

Tested on x86-linux (elf/dwarf), and ppc-aix (xcoff/stabs).
OK to commit?

Thanks,
