That's how I implemented it in our local Zope copy.
#define cPersistent_HEAD \
PyObject_HEAD \
PyObject *jar; \
PyObject *oid; \
PerCache *cache; \
CPersistentRing ring; \
char serial[8]; \
signed char state; \
/* DM 2005-08-22: sticky support */ \
/* unsigned char reserved[3]; */ \
unsigned char sticky; /* we need only a bit; but byte access is cheaper */\
unsigned char reserved[2];
As you can see, I used one of the three reserved "char"s -- and did not
increase the size of persistent objects.
