If packed records are such a problem, don't use packed records.  We're not

"packed" is sometime used to make the binary representation of the record
more predictable, which you might need if you mix fpc with other languages
or want to save the data to disk. Of course you can only rely on this at
your own risque.

And the Mac OS Universal Interfaces uses "packed" a lot.

Yes, but they are probably packed properly and taking care of alignment. Further, the powerpc doesn't "sigbus" on unaligned data usually.
