Quoting Dimitrios Apostolou <ji...@gmx.net>:
Working with bitmaps in gcc made me really miss the simple bitmap.h of
the linux kernel. I'm not sure if we can borrow from there. More info
at:

You would need the Copyright holders to assign their Copyright in this
code to the FSF. Or give a GPL-v3-or-later license and get the FSF to
agree to use this code in GCC in spite of not owning the Copyright.
As sad as this is, with two Free Software projects both using (some version
of) the GPL, it is probably easier to re-invent the wheel.
Or find some matching stuff that the FSF already owns.
