My proposal is to commit this to the gcc-3_4-branch, and once
testing has completed, also to mainline.

OK, thanks!

Then on mainline use an extra bit in a type to distinguish "extended" from "paradoxical" fractional integers (where TYPE_PRECISION(t) < GET_MODE_BITSIZE) to differentiate C++ enums from scalarized C/C++ bitfields.

I'm sure not going to try to stop you -- but depending on how the debate comes out, it may be that your current fix needs to stay in permanently, so I wouldn't commit yourself to too much effort up front.
