If I remember right that discussion was about structures like the TFTP header.
Those do need to be packed because, unfortunately, they are used directly for 
external presentation.  I don't recall ever having seen a detailed explanation 
of this alleged structure packing problem with passwd (though I might well 
have missed it).  

FWIW, my NetWinder runs the standard glibc with no patches and I haven't 
experienced any problems logging in.  Does anybody have a test case for the bug?
