Hi Simson,
the issue isn't the bitfields here and isn't related to the type in
first place. The issue is that the __attribute__((pack)) works now
only on the outer structure alignment, but doesn't affect the padding
between different fields.
Please file a bug report to gcc's bugzilla about this.

Structures with Bitfields defined as "unsigned int" are not being packed
properly. They are being packed properly if the bitfields are defined with
"uint8_t".
Test program:
#include
#include
struct v1 {
