I think we should simply refuse this.  It's circular and obviously
broken.  We have a reference to a named type and the reference is
clearly intended to be to a non-volatile type, so GDB blowing up is
not entirely unreasonable.

That said, as you know, I care very little about the pathological
cases in our stabs parser; since no one more knowledgeable has
stepped up to object, this seems fine to commit.
