Struct allocation on a 4 byte boundary: Syntax error?

[Gigi Sullivan <sullivan at sikurezza dot org>]

Aiee :)

   Hello!

   I don't know if this is the right mailing list, so I apologize
   if I'm wrong :)

   I'm trying to allocate a struct on a 4 byte boundary but I get
   error while compiling (gcc version 2.7.2.3).

   I also don't know if I'm doing right ;)

   Here attached here's the simple test program.
   Any ideas?

Thx && bye bye
