Certainly doable, something along these lines is implemented in varasm.c to output these non-integral bit-fields (output_constructor et al) so we could even try to share some code. However, in practice, these cases turn out to be rare because the tree_output_constant_def path in gimplify_init_constructor is well guarded. -- Eric Botcazou
