yes, I agree. I am not sure how much information to keep though.
Would the following be ok?

/* If this type has already been declared, then reuse the same type
rather than allocating a new one. This saves some memory. */

The current comment is:

/* Now check to see whether the type has already been
declared. This was written for arrays of cross-referenced
types before we had TYPE_CODE_TARGET_STUBBED, so I'm pretty
sure it is not necessary anymore. But it might be a good
idea, to save a little memory. */
