Hi Guys,

  A customer recently uncovered a problem with the XStormy16 port
  whereby the DWARF debug information being generated for bitfields was
  incorrect.  The issue was bogus DW_AT_bit_offset fields, and it turns
  out to happen when the size of the type of the bitfield is larger than
  the alignment of the type of the bitfield.  Eg:

    unsigned long a : 8;

  For the XStormy16 this bitfield has an alignment of 16-bits (the
  maximum for this target), but a type size of 32-bits.  The problem is
  the code in dwarf2out.c:field_byte_offset() which assumes that the
  alignment will always be at least as big as the size.

  Fixed with the patch below.  Tested with no regressions on an
  i686-pc-linux-gnu target as well as an xstormy16-elf target.

  OK to apply ?

Cheers
  Nick

	* dwarf2out.c (field_byte_offset): Handle the situation where a
	bit field's type alignment is less than the size of the type.
