It looks like the problems I mentioned only occur with an "old" ARM ABI -- Linux
seems to have moved to an ABI which does not require structures to be 4-byte
aligned, while FreeBSD is still using an old ABI which caused struct padding to
be added.

Thanks for the feedback, nothing to worry about here. :-)
