[issue27643] test_ctypes fails on AIX with xlc

[Martin Panter]

Now I am confused. In <https://bugs.python.org/issue27643#msg271773> we have

[Me] If your compiler does not support “signed short” bitfields, maybe we just have to accept that ctypes supports it even though the compiler doesn’t, and skip the test.

[Michael] Looks like this may be the approach: as signed int, signed short give the same message - it seems that xlc (and maybe Sun C) does not accept "short" as a bitfield type.

Apparently XLC doesn’t accept signed short bitfields for Michael, but does for Eric. What’s going on? Maybe different versions?
