1108 bytes

I have a problem with a structure that consists of onother structure with an
odd number of bytes and some other words. 

The problem is that the structure has to have exactly the size as I specified
and Gcc aligns the first structure to 4 bytes, so it grows. 

How can I tell gcc not to do so and leave the elements at the position ?
Is there a compiler switch to do so ?

I'm using gcc 2.3.3 on linux

Thanks in advance
   Stefan
