Hi Dmitry,
I think the problem we were having is big endian vs little endian.
Checking.

where are bitfields?

The C specs do not define whether bit fields are allocated from the MSB 
down or the LSB up. Different compilers do different things. Some have 
proprietary switches (e.g. using #pragma xxxx) to allow the order to be 
swapped. I can't remember what GCC offers you in this regard.
