well yes. what i don't really understand is, why gcc on linux (i'm not talking about a cross-compiler like i686-w64-mingw32-gcc that runs on linux but really builds w32 binaries, but instead about a native compiler that produces binaries for linux) provides and uses the "-mms-bitfields" flag at all. what are the possible uses of ms-bitfields on linux?
I think there are no uses of running ms-bitfields code on GNU/Linux. But the gcc on some distros includes things like -mms-bitfields and -mandroid to build for those platforms without using a cross-compiler.
