>Description:
/* Don't do this; it means that if some .o's are compiled with GNU C
   and some are not (easy to do accidentally the way we configure
   things; also it is a pain to have to "make clean" every time you
   want to switch compilers), then GDB dies a horrible death.  */
/* GNU C supports enums that are bitfields.  Some compilers don't. */
#if 0 && defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(BYTE_BITFIELD)
#define BYTE_BITFIELD   :8;

the `horrible death' excuse isn't relevant.  should just enable it and see what the damage is.

(this is probably a duplicate of an earlier PR).
