This is the same behavior as RISC-V. While attempting to pass a struct through
FPRs, the empty field is ignored. But if passing through FPR does not work and
it's passed through GPRs, the empty fields are not ignored:

I guess we should be able to fix it for GDB because they must have fixed it for
RISC-V already.
