I'm a bit surprised that this landed, given that gcc bug. I can see the
motivation for the gcc bug: If you say your enum is going to need
underlying 8 bits, then warning that your bitfield where you store it is
smaller _is_ surprising.

I'm not sure if landing this while gcc still behaves the way it does is a
good idea :-(
