Read the docs for PCC_BITFIELD_MATTERS. It describes a very particular
problem (bitfields crossing certain alignment boundaries).
It even includes code which attempts to set up this situation;
so you can compile that sample code with -m68000.
Then look at the resulting output and verify that you don't have
any unaligned loads/stores. Doesn't seem all that hard to me.
I think if you do that and can show Jim that it works then
you'll both be happy.
