And they work then?
AFAIK -fpack-struct and #pragma pack(1) are equivalent, so the bug 
should occur on both.


BTW:

extern "C"
{
 struct XXX
 {
  int a;
 };
};

is legal C++.

extern "C" struct XXX
{
 int a;
};

is AFAIK illegal, but allowed by GCC. Or do you mean it has no effect? 
I do not have a gcc version containing this bug, so I cannot test.
