I think I may have encountered this issue aswell. For example, given the
following example program:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>

struct A {
    short s;
    struct { int i; };
} __attribute__((__packed__));

struct B {
    short s;
    struct { int i; } __attribute__((__packed__));
} __attribute__((__packed__));

struct C {
    struct { int i; };
    short s;
} __attribute__((__packed__));

int main() {
    printf("sizeof(struct A) == %i\n", (int)sizeof(struct A));
    printf("sizeof(struct B) == %i\n", (int)sizeof(struct B));
    printf("sizeof(struct C) == %i\n", (int)sizeof(struct C));
    return 0;
}


with TDM-GCC's mingw32 gcc 4.6.1, all sizes are 6, and for comparison, with
Ubuntu's i686-linux-gnu gcc 4.6.3, all sizes are 6.

However, with mingw.org's gcc 4.7.0, sizeof(A) == 8. B and C still are 6, as
expected; A on the other hand apparently is not being packed, despite the
__attribute__((__packed__)).
