	That is defined by the ABI.  Most ABIs define the alignment of
types as their natural alignment and propagate the largest (strictest)
alignment into aggregates.  The ABI for your Sparc-based system presumably
uses that model.  If you want to change the alignment of a structure
member from the default, you need to use compiler extensions.
