I think it has something to do with alignment.  For example,

typedef struct {
	char abc[1];
        int i;
	char def[1];
} teststruct;

The size returned here is 12 on my linux system (not 6).  Here,
the characters "abc" and "def" take 4 bytes rather than 1.

I think there is an option for gcc that will align on byte boundaries.
Sorry I don't remember it off hand.

Hope this helps.
