Maybe the arm backend is somehow broken. AFAIK (and I verfied it on S390 and

To see a difference with your example structs you need to compare these two:

struct wibble1 {
  char c;
  struct bar1 b1;
};

struct wibble2 {
  char c;
  struct bar2 b2;
};

struct wibble1 w1 = { 1, { 2, {3,4,5} } };
struct wibble2 w2 = { 1, { 2, {3,4,5} } };

Can you try that with your compilers?  I get:

w1:
	.byte	1
	.space	3    <<<----
	.byte	2
	.4byte	3
	.byte	4
	.space	3
	.4byte	5
	.space	3
	.global	w2
	.align	2
	.type	w2, %object
	.size	w2, 16
w2:
	.byte	1
	.byte	2
	.4byte	3
	.byte	4
	.space	3
	.4byte	5
	.space	2
