man gcc gives :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-fshort-enums
Allocate to an enum type only as many bytes as it
needs for the declared range of possible values.
Specifically, the enum type will be equivalent to
the smallest integer type which has enough room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if on PPC "char" is 8-bit, then gcc should produce 8-bit enums.
else AFAIUnderstand this is a bug.
But by all means, please try and report.

I'm pretty sure that you're mistaken. My PPC box is at home so I can't test
this, but I'm pretty sure that it will make all the enums equal to type "short",
and there is NO connection between being a "short" and being "16-bit". The only
restriction on short is that sizeof(short)<=sizeof(int)<=sizeof(long).

They hang the man and flog the woman
That steal the goose from off the common,
But let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose.
