Yes, I tested Cygwin (32-bit GCC 4.5.3) and latest TinyC. Except for "long double", the sizes matched.

I did not test a bunch of other GCCs (as most of mine are DOS-based and this was done on silly Win64). I was only mainly interested in showing what I remembered, that for TinyC you have to declare each field as packed explicitly. TinyC does a lot for GCC compatibility but of course it can never be 100% and such probably isn't high priority.

Yes, I know GCC supports it; however, TinyC does not (though you could argue that calling it "GNU C extensions" but not fully supporting it is woefully incomplete).

Yes.
