I notice that in a follow-up patch, only committed to the 3.3 branch
you used the ChangeLog entry:
PR c++/10796
* decl.c (finish_enum): Make sure the underlying integer type has
the same precision as some full integer type. Reverts part
2003-06-27's patch that didn't play any role in fixing the PR.
which suggests that the change in TYPE_PRECISION wasn't necessary to
fix this PR. I'll hunt back through the archives to catch up on the
relevant discussions. For example, I've no idea what DR377 resolved.
