The patch in the bz applies and builds without change.  I added my
analysis of the failure (newer gcc's give a much more useful message
;) although it's pretty obvious in retrospect.

Only four lines changed, well under the assignment threshold.

The core problem here is that the bitfields are unsigned but
the computed constants are signed.  This patch forces the computed
constants to be unsigned. - DJ
