I have discovered a bug in the 2.7.2 version of GCC which causes the
compiler to miscalculate the size of a structure for an m68k-sun-sunos4.1.1
machine.  The following structure should be one byte in length but the 
compiler calculates it as two bytes.

struct FlagByte{
	unsigned char flag1 : 1;
	unsigned char flag2 : 1;
	unsigned char flag3 : 1;
	unsigned char flag4 : 1;
	unsigned char flag5 : 1;
	unsigned char flag6 : 1;
	unsigned char flag7 : 1;
	unsigned char flag8 : 1;
}

this code generates the following stab:

.stabs "FlagByte:T20=s2flag1:11,0,1;flag2:11,1,1;\\",128,0,0,0
.stabs "flag3:11,2,1;flag4:11,3,1;flag5:11,4,1;\\",128,0,0,0
.stabs "flag5:11,2,1;flag6:11,3,1;flag7:11,4,1;\\",128,0,0,0

This seems to occur for all odd-numbered length structs so it looks like
the compiler is promoting the length to be on a word boundry.

I am willing to do all the digging necessary to fix this but do not know
where to start so if someone knows immediately where to look, let me know.
Or, better yet, if anyone has a patch for this, it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nate
