That's right, there's no inherent way to define structs. GNU as is
mainly intended as a compiler back-end, and so is missing some features
for people writing in assembler. You've seen the workarounds.

However, you may be able to use NASM instead. I haven't checked, but I
would imagine it has some kind of structure support.
