Hi,
according to my type checker, ipa-prop is only place where we produce a variant 
of
a METHOD_TYPE that is FUNCTION_TYPE or viarant that has different parameters.
The code in question is producing new prototype to remove unused arguments,
but I do not think it should eclare the new type to be variant of the original.

Historically I think I introduced the code because I simply copied what linker
does without caring too much about the consequences.

Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux, OK?

        * ipa-prop.c (ipa_modify_formal_parameters): Do not declare new type
        to be variant of original type.
