__attribute__((packed)) doesn't work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

struct dma_transfer {
  unsigned short src_addr; /* 0 + 1 */
  unsigned char src_bank; /* 2 */
  unsigned short dest; /* 3 + 4 */
  unsigned short size; /* 5 + 6 */
  unsigned char type; /* 7 */
} __attribute__((packed));

This structure is 10 bytes instead of 8. (Is there a point in aligning
stuff on the 65816 at all?)
