Hmm, I tried..
    struct foo { 
        uint8_t a;
        uint8_t b;
        uint8_t c;
        uint8_t d;
        uint8_t e;
    } __attribute__ ((packed)) abc = {
        1,
        2,
        3,
        4,
        5
    };

but there is no change in behaviour.

I would not expect GCC to pad [too much] on AVR anyway because the processor 
doesn't require aligned access.
