Can use -mno-ms-bitfields later to override it.
No, we can't do that.
The reason glib uses -mms-bitfields is that you need to use it in
order to call Windows APIs which is does. We will eventually need to
do it anyway.
I meant, just for our own objects. As long as there are no glib APIs
which use bitfields, it should work.
However, I don't like it either, and prefer the
__attribute__(((((((gcc_fields)))))) as well.
