Thanks for the responses.
I'm using gcc to generate data tables for a flash device in an
embedded system(no executable code). I'm developing under Linux, but
others are using XP. I was hoping to avoid having to build a cross
environment by having XP developers just use the standard mingw or
cygwin tools. I didn't expect the pe-i386 target to add the extra
alignment bytes after my data. If there's not an easy way to avoid
this with the standard mingw or cygwin, I'll have to step back and
assess whether I want to have to build and support a cross environment
just for this.
thanks,
galen
