compile: Warn for old GCC on cv-qualified self-reference

GDB could:

compile code struct_object.selffield = &struct_object
./compile/compile-c-types.c:83: internal-error: insert_type: Assertion `add == NULL || add->gcc_type == gcc_type' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.compile/compile.exp: compile code struct_object.selffield = &struct_object (GDB internal
error)

The bug was not in GDB but in the GCC part interfacing with GDB.

Alexandre Oliva has fixed it the right way:
	https://gcc.gnu.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=072dfdba0ea62abb65514cb3a90cdf3868efe286
	git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git
	aoliva/libcp1

Attaching this GDB testsuite update + info to user s/he should upgrade GCC.
After Alex upstreams the fix I can update the message to contain the specific
GCC release.
