When defining a bitfield constant where multiple bitfields have initializing
values, this constant is moved into .data in GCC 4.1. GCC 3.x could realize
it can be written and assigned as a single integer number. GCC 4.x only
realizes this situation as long as a single bitfield is initialized.
Verified on i386 and avr targets, so this is apparently completely independent
of the target CPU.
