	(quirk_gcc_member_function_pointer): Return the new type.
	(process_structure_scope, process_enumeration_scope): Use
	get_die_type and read the DIE's type.
	(read_full_die): Do not initialize die->type.
	(tag_type_to_type): Use read_type_die.
	(read_type_die): Check for already defined types.  Return the
	type.
