How do you do it? The #pragma pack() directive, which works with the
System V compiler, is ignored by gcc. I need the ability to
selectively pack specific structures -- turning on global structure
packing breaks the standard i/o library (the FILE structure no longer
works). 

I looked in the info-gcc documentation searching for the strings
"pack" and "structure" but couldn't turn up anything. Did I miss
something?

Thanks,
Matthew Halfant
