I am involved with embeded system development tools and there are
several compilers for the 8-bit end of the market that offer char
sized bitfields.

HiTech Software and IAR Systems to mention just two.

Both of these vendors have 16 and 32 bit compilers and I guess they
probably offer them there too.

The main usage is to beable to declare structrues which represent
hardware registers and I/O devices.
