Description of problem:
The gcc with Linux 7.1 lays out long long bitfields in a way that is both 
incompatible with Linux 6.2, and just plain irrational.  Surely, changing 
a field of type T to a bitfield of type T should not make a structure 
larger.  A struct containing a char and a long long bitfield should occupy 
12 bytes: 1 for the char, 3 for padding, and 8 for the long long.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile program as shown in "Additional Information".
2. Run program.


Actual Results:  sizeof(PlainField)=12
sizeof(BitField  )=16


Expected Results:  sizeof(PlainField)=12
sizeof(BitField  )=12


Additional info:

$ cat b.C
#include <stdio.h>

typedef long long T;

struct PlainField {
    char c;
    T field;
};

struct BitField {
    char c;
    T field: 61;
};

int main() {
    printf("sizeof(PlainField)=%d\n", sizeof(PlainField));
    printf("sizeof(BitField  )=%d\n", sizeof(BitField));
    return 0;
}
