I don't immediately see why that would break anything. For a case like
this I would expect layout_decl to turn the first field into an ordinary
non-bit-field anyhow.
What does the line for timeval look like in gen-sysinfo.go?

Unfortunately I have not been able to think of a generic solution. The
basic problem is that we need to get Go representations of structures
that the libc functions use, and we need to have names for the fields
that the library can use. The -fdump-go-spec= option can give us the Go
representations. The trick is getting the names for the fields.
