If I am not mistaken, gcc handles structure passing differently than cc. I had
an RPC based program that died miserably when I tried compiling the RPC stubs and application code with gcc. I was using TCP as the transport. The fix I used was to compile the RPC stubs with cc, then compile the rest of my application with gcc and link the whole thing with gcc. Works like a charm!

Hope this helps
