ms-bitfields does packing of bitfields in a way compatible with MSVC. In order to call Windows API functions that use structures that have bitfields, you need to use ms-bitfields.
Slirp will need to be fixed to not depend on GCC bitfield layout. This is one of the reasons why portable code should never use bitfields.
