Why do I have this feeling of having read this question and an answer
to it yesterday, in some GCC mailing lists?  In what sense is this a
bug in GCC or about the development of GCC (which are the topics of
the mailing lists in which you've just posted).

Look for attribute packed in the GCC manual.
