I'll second Tom - I think I opened a GCC bug report about this.

There's not really any such thing in the debug info.  Some GCC debug
info includes mangled names for functions, but it's not always there
and it is never present for types.  We'd have to reconstruct it from
linkage names and map to parameters; it would be very hit-or-miss.
