It's a murky area of the C ABI but I don't think the implementation has
changed. I know gcc and Intel's C compiler were at disagreement over
that one at one point. But I would have to read through the release
notes to see.
If gcc has changed on x86 it is even more important that the field is
not implemented as a uint64_t. Because unfortunately it is preceded
by a 32bit number which means that field should only be 32bit aligned.
