Microsoft C's #pragma pack() may do what you want.  volume 23 of
comp.sources.misc contains a set of GCC patches used by XENIX users
from which you can extract the few patch hunks required to teach gcc
how to do Microsoft C's #pragma pack().

(Rumor has it that GCC version 2 has structure packing control support,
 but since it's not out, you may prefer to take this more immediate route)
