Subject:	sizeof(long double)

Hallo everybody at the list !

I'm new to djgpp - I use it since a mounth or so.
I've started porting a data base program from Turbo C to djgpp.

My question is:why the 'long double' type is 12 bytes long
even if ((packed)) attribute is specified?
My tests show (may be I am wrong...), that last 2 bytes
of 12 bytes long doubles in djgpp are unused !!!
So, why long doubles are not 10 bytes long (like in TC)?

Thank you in advance,
         ,
