Re: PING: PATCH: Do not clear the DECL_BIT_FIELD flag (prelude to ObjC fix)

    The only problem is that the bitfield declarations occasionally get

But that's the point we're trying to make: since that flag is used for
code generation, it doesn't represent the language concept any more.
If you need one that does represent that concept, you have to add one.
Judging from Richard Henderson's earlier e-mail, it is not clear to
me whether not clearing DECL_BIT_FIELD will affect codegen.  This is,
I think, the question that needs to be answered.  Alas, I'm in no
position to answer it. :-(
