After further discussion/investigation, the check is wrong and we should
remove it.  Without the check, if we are debugging on windows using lldb
and DWARF, we can potentially get the wrong layout during a debugging
session in which someone defines a new type.  Given that don't have support
debugging on windows using lldb, this is fine.  I'll patch it.
