No, I think what he is talking about it this bit:
Ok, I agree that the bitfield code actually looks cleaner.
That said, maybe gcc has an easier time using a few odd builtins and
magic typeof's. But at least the bitfield trick looks half-way

On the other hand, it still uses two gcc extensions: long long bitfields
and typeof.
I'll see what kind of code we get with the macro.
