Look in the GCC-XML source tree under the GCC/gcc and GCC/gcc/cp 
directories.  Several files have been modified.  All modifications are 
marked by comments like this:

/* BEGIN GCC-XML MODIFICATIONS ($Date: 2003/11/21 21:29:54 $) */
...
/* END GCC-XML MODIFICATIONS ($Date: 2003/11/21 21:29:54 $) */

The main dump code is in GCC/gcc/cp/xml.c.  The hook from the C++ parser 
is in GCC/gcc/cp/semantics.c in the finish_translation_unit function 
when it calls do_xml_output.  You'll have to find the equivalent place 
in the C parser.
