[Bug c/41842] New: ICE on invalid variable length array declaration

[truedfx at gentoo dot org]

This happened in real code, where a required header file was missing.

$ cat bug.i 
void f() {
        char x[g(h)];
}
$ gcc-4.4.2 -c bug.i
bug.i: In function ‘f’:
bug.i:2: error: ‘h’ undeclared (first use in this function)
bug.i:2: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
bug.i:2: error: for each function it appears in.)
bug.i:2: internal compiler error: tree check: expected class ‘type’, have
‘exceptional’ (error_mark) in create_tmp_var, at gimplify.c:555
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <http://bugs.gentoo.org/> for instructions.

The same thing happens with a 4.5 snapshot from 20091001; I haven't yet been
able to try a more recent snapshot.
