--- Comment #2 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
One way to fix this would be:

          DECL_FIELD_ABI_IGNORED (field) = 1;
          layout_empty_base_or_field (rli, field, empty_base_offsets);
Another might be not to change DECL_FIELD_OFFSET in layout_empty_base_or_field
for TREE_CODE (rli->t) == UNION_TYPE, etc.
The question is if [[no_unique_address]] members of a union should affect any
ABI decisions (such as passing the union by value) or not.
Looking at the config/*/* code, in most cases the targets ignore
DECL_FIELD_ABI_IGNORED on UNION_TYPE members, but ia64 does not, and I think
rs6000_special_round_type_align and darwin_rs6000_special_round_type_align
don't ignore it either.
