I think it has never been fixed.

I used to keep it in the FreeBSD port as patch-16bitassign, but
eventually removed it there when upgrading the port to GCC 3.4.0 (the
file is still in the Attic of CVS).  I don't feel very comfortable
with a private fix for this.  It should somehow be brought into GCC's
code.  As the previous fix was already Marek's fix, he's probably the
one to pester to integrate that patch.

(Patch appended for reference.)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
