In the case above, i get a
"size of array ‘a’ is too large" error.

The thing that took me by surprise was, if i split the structure to

struct trial
{
  long a[5000];
  long b[5000];
};

This works fine.
If your "long" is 32-bit, then your first array covers more memory than the range of a signed 16-bit integer, whereas the second set of arrays doesn't hit this limitation. Perhaps the limitation is forced on GCC by the limitations of your target.
