Try using grep, as in "grep flag_pack_struct *.c" and "grep
maximum_field_alignment *.c".

If you really want to modify files, and submit a patch, you have to use
current mainline sources.  This stuff works differently on mainline than
it does in the older sources you are looking at.  We can't accept a
patch based off of an older release.

Yes, you are looking in the right place.  TYPE_PACKED and
maximum_field_alignment are the important ones for this particular
problem.
