I recently started to use gcc 2.2.2 under SCO Unix 3.2.  I need to
pack structs; i.e., force alignment of fields on next available byte,
rather than next multiple of two or four bytes.  After searching the
man page and the gcc.info* files, and trying the __attribute__
((aligned(n))) syntax, BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT, and BIGGEST_FIELD_ALIGNMENT
without success, I've been unable to find any facility in gcc to do
this.  Would someone please help me out?


Thanks,
Keith
