Hi.

Bisecting shows that the error was introduced in rev 115529, which is a huge 
one.  Changelog starts with

2013-12-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert <at> cs.ucla.edu>

	Use bool for boolean, focusing on headers.
	* atimer.h, lisp.h, syssignal.h, syswait.h, unexelf.c:
	No need to include <stdbool.h>, since conf_post.h does it now.
	* buffer.h (BUF_COMPUTE_UNCHANGED, DECODE_POSITION)
	(BUFFER_CHECK_INDIRECTION, GET_OVERLAYS_AT, PER_BUFFER_VALUE_P)
...

Not using bool in bitfields, i.e in conf_post.h, change this:

typedef bool bool_bf;

to

typedef unsigned int bool_bf;

and the problem goes away.  Can we please revert this?  I don't see the 
benefit, even if this might be a gcc bug.

	Jan D.
