Perhaps a good compromise could be to turn the duplicated code into a macro that's instantiated in both places? But I don't actually see anything much wrong with the code as Peter has it.
There are opportunities to refine this further. For example, there is similar code in TupleDescInitBuiltinEntry(), and bootstrap.c also contains hardcoded info on built-in types, and GetCCHashEqFuncs() is also loosely related. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, one could have genbki.pl generate support code for this.
