Still, this part makes no sense to me since it is in a packed struct.
Can you explain why this works better for you?
It worked better, in that it fixed a problem that let me continue on to
fix other issues. After revisiting fcntl() and coming up with the more
comprehensive patch, this change now seems to have no effect, so I
must conceed that it is not needed, please drop that part of the patch.
Now that the dust has settled, I see where the change is probably a
no-op anyway. A quick little test program indicates that on x86_64,
l_start will have an offset of 8 wether the structure is packed or not,
and wether the __pad member is present or not. The unsigned long long is
always going to be aligned to a 8 byte boundary.
