Roberto E. Vargas Caballero b8fbaa9b0d Remove bit fields
Before removing bit fields:

$ size find

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

  16751	    968	     48	  17767	   4567	find

After removing bit fields:
$ size find
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  16527     968      68   17563    449b find

This is an example where bit fields uses more memory
than integers or char. There is going to be only one
gflags struct, so the waste in instructions is bigger
than the space saved by bit fields. In the case of Permarg,
Sizearg, Execarg there is only one bit field, so at least
one unsigned is used, so there is no any gain.

sbase - suckless unix tools
===========================

sbase  is a  collection of  unix  tools that  are inherently  portable
across UNIX and UNIX-like systems.

The following tools are implemented ('*' == finished, '#' == UTF-8 support,
'=' == implicit UTF-8 support):

The  complement of  sbase  is  ubase[1] which  is  Linux-specific  and
provides all  the non-portable tools.   Together they are  intended to
form a base system similar to busybox but much smaller and suckless.

Building
--------

To  build sbase,  simply  type  make.  You  may  have  to fiddle  with
config.mk depending on your system.

You  can  also  build  sbase-box,  which  generates  a  single  binary
containing  all  the  required  tools.    You  can  then  symlink  the
individual tools to sbase-box.

Ideally you will  want to statically link sbase.  If  you are on Linux
we recommend using musl-libc[2].

Portability
-----------

sbase has been  compiled on a variety of  different operating systems,
including Linux, *BSD, OSX, Haiku, Solaris, SCO OpenServer and others.

Various combinations of operating  systems and architectures have also
been built.

You can build sbase with gcc, clang, tcc, nwcc and pcc.
