which doesn't promote the last argument of __builtin_*_overflow_p

Looks fine to me. The bit-field handling should be explained
in the manual. Though useful, it's unusual enough that I don't
think people will expect it (there have been bug reports or
questions in the past about the C handling of bit-fields from
users familiar with the C++ semantics).
