I frequently have to use large structs containing many different types. How do
I tell gcc that it has to use a compact alignment. 

Example:

sizeof(x) returns 944 on both a Sun workstation and a PC under Linux although x
actually has a size of 900 (which is returned by Borland C on the same PC)

Thanks,

Ralf
