>Description:
If I try to use a name for an identifier of a bitmask and
that name happens to be used by a namespace, gcc flags the
bitmask as being a syntax error.
>How-To-Repeat:
compile this:

namespace baz {}

namespace foo
{
  struct bar
  {
    unsigned baz:1;
  };
}


comment out the first line, and it compiles.
