+ * gdbtypes.c (make_qualified_type): Doc fix. Add assertion to
+ prevent cross-objfile references.
+ (make_cv_type): Doc fix. Don't create cross-objfile references,
+ even for stub types.
+ (replace_type): Add assertion to prevent cross-objfile references.
+ (check_typedef): Never resolve a stub type by copying over a type
+ from another file.
