I checked GCC 10 and GCC 9, and the code is the same :(
Any idea on how old do we need to go?

Is there really any difference whether one changes a byte or ors

multi-bit fields may be harder for the compiler, especially weirdly
aligned but for trivial single bit values I think we may be overly
cautious.
