The -fpack-struct is the flag that gives that feature. Please note
that it affects *all* structures, including those defined in the C
library. So if you want to run the programs on Linux, the option is
not useful. Instead, you should set the alignment on a per-structure
basis, such as

struct X{
  int i;
  char c;
}__attribute__((packed));

struct X f[2]={1,2,3,4};

Hope this helps,
