--- Comment #1 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
rs6000-gen-builtins.cc contains comments like:
  /* #### Cannot mark this as a GC root because only pointer types can
     be marked as GTY((user)) and be GC roots.  All trees in here are
     kept alive by other globals, so not a big deal.  Alternatively,
     we could change the enum fields to ints and cast them in and out
     to avoid requiring a GTY((user)) designation, but that seems
     unnecessarily gross.  */
but while that seems to work fine for GC (e.g. rs6000_builtin_info[?].fntype
is set to some FUNCTION_TYPE that is also stored in some GC root forever, so GC
shouldn't free that FUNCTION_TYPE), it doesn't and can't work for PCH, which
really needs to be able to adjust all the pointers.
