I have a program that runs on two different platforms, and generates
binary data using a struct that contains structs that contain
bit-fields.  I would like the output data to be interchangeable among
the platforms, but one platform assigns bitfields from the MSB down and
pads structs to 32-bit word boundaries, and the other platform assigns
bitfields from the LSB up and allows 16-bit alignment.

Does gcc (we have 2.4.5) have any command options to specify bitfield
order and struct alignment?  If so we can port our code to gcc on one
platform and configure it to work like the other.
