Subject: [9fans] am I nuts? does 8c support packed structs?

consider this: 

struct a {
	ulong x;
	long y;
	short z;
	};

in GCC, you can add attribute packed and that struct will be 10 bytes. I'm 
getting some static from the Xen guys because IIRC 8c does not support 
packed structs -- that struct on 8c is 12 bytes. 

Am I nuts? Is there some 8c pragma that can force this to be packed?
