I think I'm having a similar problem. I'd like to use a struct
as an overlay for some data read in from a file. I took a look
at the documentation (the section on "Storage Layout" at
http://egcs.cygnus.com/onlinedocs/gcc_17.html#SEC201 ), and it
seems like the option that I need to pack the fields correctly
is in there somewhere, but either I haven't been able to find
the right flag or combination of flags yet, or I'm not using
the options properly.
If anyone can give me a push/shove/kick in the right direction,
I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
