PR 7432 reports an (unintentional) ABI change between 3.1 and 3.1.1
The alignment of int bitfields which were extended to long long
changed on x86 systems. A 'long long' field is aligned to a 4
byte boundary, but a 'long long' bitfield is aligned to an
8 byte boundary. The new behaviour matches the C compiler's
behaviour (but, I believe disagrees with intel's compiler) --
this may be a long standing x86 ABI incompatibility.

PR 7470 reports another ABI discrepancy, which I am working on.
