Before I'm killing someones 64bit+ machine with that patch:

The hint I've received was to use

+} __attribute__ ((packed, aligned(4)));

That works too. I haven't seen the original commit (I've only got told 
that credits have to go to Laine Walker-Avina), I don't know if the 
standard says something to that, I don't know if some 64bit+ SoC might 
choose to align that stuff otherwise and I will not send a v2 of that patch.

Regards,

Alexander
