I had tried that, but the code might have a sligt issue there ...

struct xyz
{
        char :2;
        char x:2;
        char y:2;
        char z:2;
};

would be incorrect if I omitted to add the first anonymous bitfield ?
(my fix adds a bitfield named "" to provide the necessary padding)

ie the above one is not the same as 

struct xyz
{
//      char :2;
        char x:2;
        char y:2;
        char z:2;
};

k, I should really check stuff more thoroughly ...
