It looks like major changes were recently merged into the gcc trunk, and I haven't had a chance to test those, so it may well be fixed. But more importantly, so far I haven't read anything here to dissuade me that they are the right target.

    The bitfield changes didn't make it into gcc-4.7; we're still working
    through implementation details. GCC's bitfield support is a horrid
    nasty mess which has made implementation of the standard problematical.
    It's on Aldy's plate for gcc-4.8.
