This looks like a clang bug. Per the ABI, long long has 8-byte
alignment on ARM. Thus, the structure definition musl has right now
will give the right layout to match the ABI, and in fact it works
perfectly when compiled with GCC.
I'm not entirely opposed to putting the explicit padding in there,
since this is an arch-specific structure anyway, but I think you
should check your compiler. The same issue might come up elsewhere and
might not be so easy to work around.
Let me know what you find.
