I'm porting some BC4 stuff over to DJGPP and when I declare a bit
field like this

struct
  Life {
           unsigned neighbours : 4;
           unsigned alive : 1;
           unsigned onTheList : 1;
           unsigned : 2;
          };

It takes up 4 bytes instead of 1. I've tried using -mno-bit-align but
it gives me an error like invalid option or something like that. I
need it to take up only 1 byte. Any help greatly appreciated.
