If you have a given set of class definitions, and you need to convert
assembler code relying on the layout of classes to gcc, may I propose
you generate some assembler glue? I.e.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include "all_my_headers"

int main()
{
  printf(".set dummy_item1,%d\n",offsetof(dummy,item1));
  printf(".set dummy_item2,%d\n",offsetof(dummy,item2));
}

Then you run this once (and whenever the headers change), and .include
the generated code into your assembler file.

Hope this helps,
Martin
