Yes, MWC supports bit fields, and Yes, MWC supports LARGE arrays.
The compiler occasionally complains about large arrays, but it
generates the code just fine.  You can turn off the complaints with
a command-line option.

I have a Mega 2 at work; I use a 1 meg ram disk, and have an SH204.
I put the library directory (which includes the C compiler passes),
the temp directory, AND the include directory on the ram disk, and
keep the source files on the hard disk.  This system is not only
workable, it is a joy to work with.  Now, for a nice slick integrated
development environment - something like a GEM-based version of make
and cscope pounded together.
