If I think about very carefully this can be OK. But does this imply that
the construct:
	struct foo {
		int l1 PACKED, l2 PACKED;
	       ....
	};
also guaranties packing? (I did not try this one. For those who did not
read my previous posting, PACKING is a #define for __attribute__
((packed)) ). 
Will newbies understand it?
