  Log:
  Attempt to improve application portability by marking `struct ar_hdr'
  as `packed'.
  
  The C standard leaves the alignment of individual members of a C
  struct upto the implementation, so pedantically speaking portable
  code cannot assume that the layout of a `struct ar_hdr' in memory
  will match its layout in a file.  Using a __packed attribute
  declaration forces file and memory layouts for this structure to
  match.
