Log:
Add __attribute__ ((packed)) to declaration of XChar2b structure in
Xlib.h, for GCC/ARM systems only. This is a kludge to work around a bad
design decision in the GCC ARM ABI, and has been discussed with Jim
Gettys, Keith Packard, and Phil Blundell. Thanks to Nicolas George and
Ga?\195?\171tan LEURENT for bringing this issue to my attention. (Closes:
#285396)
