Reference with cv-qualifiers should be ignored instead of causing an error 
because standard accepts cv-qualified references introduced by typedef which 
is ignored.
Therefore, the fix prevents GCC from reporting error by not setting variable
"bad_quals" in case the reference is introduced by typedef. Still the 
cv-qualifier is silently ignored. 
Here I quote spec (https://timsong-cpp.github.io/cppwp/dcl.ref#1):
"Cv-qualified references are ill-formed except when the cv-qualifiers
are introduced through the use of a typedef-name ([dcl.typedef],
[temp.param]) or decltype-specifier ([dcl.type.decltype]),
in which case the cv-qualifiers are ignored."

The git commit verifier rejects this commit message with

Checking 1fa0fbcdd15adf936ab4fae584f841beb35da1bb: FAILED ERR: missing 
description of a change:
"	* tree.c (cp_build_qualified_type_real):"

(your initial patch had a description here, you just need to copy it over)

ERR: PR 101783 in subject but not in changelog:
"c++: Suppress error when cv-qualified reference is introduced by 
typedef [PR101783]"

(the PR number needs to have a Tab before it)

In Jonathan's earlier reply he asked how you tested the patch; this 
message still doesn't say anything about that.

What is the legal status of your contributions?

https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html#legal

Existing code tries to handle this with the tf_ignore_bad_quals, but the 
unnecessary use of typename gets past the code that tries to set the 
flag.  But your approach is nice and straightforward, so let's go ahead 
with it.

Let's cite where this comes from in the standard ([dcl.ref]/1), and not 
the PR number.

These two // comments seem redundant with the quote from the standard 
above, let's drop them.
