Fails to build on Arch Linux: error: ignoring packed attribute because of unpacked non-POD field

Having trouble building on Arch Linux.

I've attached the output of my cmake .. (too big to paste in)

I haven't seen this issue before. It looks like you're building with gcc on amd64, which is a fairly common configuration, but it seems like your system is more strict about alignment for some reason. I've added alignment specifiers to several structures which might help, but I don't have an Arch system handy to test by myself. Let me know if the most recent change doesn't resolve the issue.

No, doesn't seem to have fixed it.
