The strings aren't actually padded. From the assembly output:
_ctl.1000:
.ascii "0z1jan0000"
.space 6
.ascii "1hr "
.space 6
.align 5
_tdefi.996:
.ascii "0z1jan0000 "
.ascii "1hr "
.const
In other words, they are put into the right memory locations, but without any
regard to their string nature. I've not yet figured out where this goes wrong.-- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31487
