Comment(by matekm):

 upgraded to gcc-core-4.5.2 and it didn't helped.

 Now, I think that -mms-bitfields created the mess. With this simple
 programm:


 {{{
 #include <stdio.h>

 struct test_struct
 {
     int test_member1;
     char test_member2;
 } __attribute__ ((packed));

 struct test_struct2
 {
     char test_member2;
     int test_member1;
 } __attribute__ ((packed));

 int main()
 {
     char buf[10];
     struct test_struct *r = (struct test_struct*)&buf[0];
     struct test_struct2 *r2 = (struct test_struct2*)&buf[0];
     printf("Size of the struct %u\n", sizeof(struct test_struct));
     printf("Size of the struct %u\n", sizeof(*r));
     printf("Size of the struct %u\n", sizeof(struct test_struct2));
     printf("Size of the struct %u\n", sizeof(*r2));
     return 0;
 }
 }}}

 compiling with -mms-bitfields on mingw gcc >= 4.4.0 gcc <= 4.5.2 gives
 output

 {{{
 Size of the struct 5
 Size of the struct 5
 Size of the struct 8
 Size of the struct 8
 }}}

 compiling without -mms-bitfields


 {{{
 Size of the struct 5
 Size of the struct 5
 Size of the struct 5
 Size of the struct 5
 }}}

 We can't compile libpurple without this flag on Windows. I hope that this
 is fixed in mingw gcc 4.6.0. Will wait for it.
