Can you check why vect_find_stmt_data_reference doesn't trip on the

  if (TREE_CODE (DR_REF (dr)) == COMPONENT_REF
      && DECL_BIT_FIELD (TREE_OPERAND (DR_REF (dr), 1)))
    {
      free_data_ref (dr);
      return opt_result::failure_at (stmt,
                                     "not vectorized:"
                                     " statement is an unsupported"
                                     " bitfield access %G", stmt);
    }

?  I think we should amend this check and I guess that
checking multiple_p on DECL_FIELD_BIT_OFFSET should be enough?

Eric - the docs of DECL_BIT_FIELD are vague enough "must be accessed
specially" but ISTR it might eventually only apply to the fields
(bit) size and not it's position.  OTOH the Ada frontend might not
be too careful in setting this flag for bit-packed structs?
