[Bug c++/38027] New: bitfields and -O2 or greater

["john dot spelis at 3dlabs dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The following program when compiled with gcc 4.1.2 works but with 4.3.0 it 
produces incorrect output at optimisation level O2 or greater.

When not working the bit fields have not been updated, e.g. a broken case
output is;

Constructing CColourARGB8888 ff000000 from CColourARGB4444 f330

When working the output has updated bitfields, e.g.

Constructing CColourARGB8888 ff333300 from CColourARGB4444 f330
