But then the bugreport should be rewritten without comparing it to C bitfields, and instead specify exactly the bit layout as desired in bytes. It's not clear to me what is meant, because (I think) the OP says that the order of bits _within_ a byte is reversed depending on endianness, which does not give the architecture independent behavior that you want. --
