Hi.  I am trying to port CodeBase 5.0 to BSDI BSD/386.  BSDI uses gcc
1.40 as the default compiler (I could also compile gcc 2.4.5 if
neccessary).  

From the CodeBase porting document: 
	Almost all UNIX systems and 32-bit compilers use a default
      4-byte alignment for structures.  If this is true for your
      compiler, a 2-byte or 1-byte alignment must be explicitly set
      during any compilation using CodeBase if you desire completely
      dBase IV- or FoxPro-compatible file support.

I don't know very much about the internal details of gcc.  Is the
above assumption correct; does gcc use 4-byte alignment?  If so, how
can I make gcc use 1- or 2-byte alignment?

Sorry if this is all really ignorant to any gcc experts, and thanks in
advance for any help.
