Am I misled here, or are you introducing endianness issues here? From C99:

"The order of allocation of bit-fields within a unit (high-order to
low-order or low-order to high-order) is implementation-defined."

Now, we're pretty well attuned to two implementations (big and little
endian), and this should work for the most common one (little endian),
but it's not wise to assume everyone is little endian.
