Unless we packed the bfloat16_bits structure, it can be something besides the sizeof unsigned short (AKA 2). On AIX with OpenXLC, without this change the size is 4. |

Also ensure that the sizeof float32_bits is the sizeof float (AKA 4) |

I wonder how portable this attribute is ? |
This is is tested on powerpc Linux and AIX with gcc and Open XL C. We can protect this with ifdef AIX, if needed. |

Thanks. Either ifdef AIX or (I guess) ifndef MSVC would do then - bet Microsoft wants some #pragma here instead |
