you've not verified how the HP compiler behaves :) That was my point.
It's a good one too.
It appears that HP's aCC on IA-64 does pack things into tail padding.
That means somebody has to lose. I guess we may as well go with the more
efficient technique then, and do the tail padding. I will try to rework
the spec to be clearer and post patches for that.
And I'll go ahead and hit the "go" button on the GCC release tonight, too.
