Just to throw one other factor into the discussion: if you add 
something like __attribute__((packed)) to the definition of a struct in 
an include file (e.g. ch9.h), it will affect third-party user-land code 
that happens to #include it.  People writing such code probably don't 
get any benefit from the attribute, but still suffer the pain (like 
mysterious failures when other people try to compile their app on an 
architecture that they don't use).  If you can avoid adding an 
attribute and instead deal with the issues at the point of use, life 
would be easier for such people.
