NAK. This is not enough. Uli, I am afraid, at the moment I don't have much time to test further test versions of this "packed" patch, this is also the reason why testing of this one has taken me so long (sorry anyway). Please, just revert that your patch COMPLETELY. I understand it is good to avoid superfluous packed attributes, but it is not that critical, I think. We may look at it some time in the future, if you like, but, I think, ATM our best bet would be to just revert it. For the future, or if anybody else can and wish to test it on ARM, only "pure software" structures can be safely made "unpacked", i.e. only those, describing internal classes. Of course, it may happen that an object gets transferred to the hardware, but only as a transfer / storage medium, and it will be afterwards read out by a system with THE SAME default packing rules. But it is always just safer to take care about packing in the software explicitely, instead of relying on default platform-specific gcc rules, as long as an object has to go on the wire. Please restore your git tree to the working state.
