In future please provide a complete testcase, as requested at
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs

Testcase reduced from the one you posted to the gcc-help list:

enum class MyEnum { A = 1 };

struct MyClass
{
  MyEnum Field1 : 3;
};


Jason, the standard seems to say this should work, although I am rather
surprised - is that intended?
