Subject: glibc vs musl sizeof types

i did sizeof comparisions of most structs on i386, x86_64, mips, arm, powerpc
using embedian cross compilers vs musl-cross

(embedian toolchain is old though: gcc-4.4, glibc-2.13, binutils-2.20)

http://nsz.repo.hu/git/?p=musl-tables;a=blob;f=data/sizeof.i386.diff
http://nsz.repo.hu/git/?p=musl-tables;a=blob;f=data/sizeof.mips.diff
http://nsz.repo.hu/git/?p=musl-tables;a=blob;f=data/sizeof.powerpc.diff
http://nsz.repo.hu/git/?p=musl-tables;a=blob;f=data/sizeof.x86_64.diff

struct rusage and struct sysinfo are known to have
extra space on musl, struct tftphdr is not "packed"
on musl and struct crypt_data is huge on glibc
other diffs may or may not be an issue


the test code if you want to try it on other arch:

http://nsz.repo.hu/git/?p=musl-tables;a=blob;f=sizeof.c

struct user_* are not avail on most archs (other than x86)
nor sys/reg.h so those should be commented out
(cflags is -std=gnu99, the diff is diff -U1 glibc musl >sizeof.diff)
