The hash table type_hash_table has as if_marked function  
type_hash_marked_p.
...
static GTY ((if_marked ("type_hash_marked_p"), param_is (struct  
type_hash)))
      htab_t type_hash_table;
...

The 'TYPE_SYMTAB_POINTER (type)' clause in type_hash_marked_p has 2  
problems:
1. it is incorrect usage of the if_marked construct. Only testing of  
ggc_marked_p is allowed in a if_marked function, as stated in http:// 
gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2010-06/msg00693.html.
2. it has no positive effect from 4.4 onwards. From 4.4 onwards, - 
funit-at-a-time is more or less hardcoded, with as effect that if a  
type is used in any function in the unit, the type will be marked.  
This way, it is already ensured that different functions will share  
types and therefore debug info. The only effect the clause has from  
4.4 onwards, is to keep types not used in the unit, from being  
garbage collected.

The problematic clause was found via a debug bootstrap comparison  
failure for 4.3, as described in bug 31230.

The patch is for trunk, and removes the problematic clause.

The testcase is not very good, since it also passes without the patch  
for trunk, but I don't know how to make a better one.

Bootstrapped and regression tested (gcc, objc, gfortran, g++,  
libgomp, libstdc++, libjava, libmudflap, libffi) on x86_64-unknown- 
linux-gnu with and without patch, with similar results.
Same thing for a debug bootstrap.

Ok for trunk? FYI I don't have copyright assignment or write access.

	* tree.c (type_hash_if_marked_p): illegal if_marked usage,
	removed non-ggc_marked_p clause.
