That's not quite as certain as you make it sound.  Whether a compiler 
allows "short" for bitfields is entirely unrelated to it allowing 
"uint32_least_t" for them.  All four combinations of outcomes are 
possible (though not equally probable).

No.  But neither do I claim my knowledge of C compilers to be complete.
