Whilst that is correct, why is the compiler changing the alignment of the
struct for different optimiser settings but all other flags identical?
[Have I got that right?] Surely that's a compiler bug too?

(In that it is in breach of an ABI, even if ANSI permits different padding
for any different compiler flags, making no special reference to
"optimisation")
