Oh boy...It appears as though "gcc" on our machines has magically become
gcc-2.7.2.3 rather than egcs-1.1.1 as it used to be.  egcs in fact
functions correctly.  gcc-2.7.2.3 does not.

Our sysadmins will be hearing about this...  >:-[

Sorry to bother everyone with this "problem."

However, the signedness problem still seems to be there:

#include <stdio.h>

struct foo { int c:3; } x = { 7 };

int main(void)
{
  printf("%d\n", x.c);

  return(0);
}

>>-drakh-> egcc fieldinit.c
>>-drakh-> ./a.out
-1

I think the output should be 7, since an "int"
 bitfield is supposed
to be unsigned according to the i386 SysV ABI.

>>-drakh-> egcc -v
