Not unless your compiler docs say so. I'm not even sure that is required
to compile.

If you want to put the boolean in a specific place, try using something
like:

for rec use record
   b at 1 range 5..5;  -- 6th bit of second byte
end record;
for rec'size use 64;

(This isn't guaranteed to compile either)
