There are many versions of the ARM processor out there. Early versions of
the ARM did not support byte and 16-bit load/store instructions, so C
char/short were 32-bit aligned on those versions. Java's byte and short
are likewise aligned.
Later versions of the ARM (such as the Netwinder's StrongARM) have byte
load/store instructions so they don't have these restrictions.
With this in mind, determine which structure padding convention is in use
by your system and investigate from there.
