The problem is CONFIG_AEABI=n, which changes the alignment
of sub-word struct members. I had assumed that AEABI is enabled
by default for everything already, but it looks like footbridge
and a couple of other defconfigs still have it turned off:

$ git grep -l  CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V7.is.not arch/arm/configs/* | xargs git grep -L AEABI
arch/arm/configs/assabet_defconfig
arch/arm/configs/collie_defconfig
arch/arm/configs/footbridge_defconfig
arch/arm/configs/h3600_defconfig
arch/arm/configs/jornada720_defconfig
arch/arm/configs/neponset_defconfig
arch/arm/configs/netwinder_defconfig
arch/arm/configs/rpc_defconfig
arch/arm/configs/spear3xx_defconfig
arch/arm/configs/spear6xx_defconfig
arch/arm/configs/spitz_defconfig

Russell still has machines with an OABI toolchain, but I'm not
aware of anyone else relying on it. It does cause other
problems as well, so I already turned it off a long time ago
for my randconfig testing.

We should probably make it the default for everything, except
whichever defconfig Russell uses:

--- a/arch/arm/Kconfig
+++ b/arch/arm/Kconfig
@@ -1159,7 +1159,7 @@ config ARM_PATCH_IDIV
 config AEABI
        bool "Use the ARM EABI to compile the kernel" if !CPU_V7 && \
                !CPU_V7M && !CPU_V6 && !CPU_V6K && !CC_IS_CLANG && !COMPILE_TEST

        help
          This option allows for the kernel to be compiled using the latest
          ARM ABI (aka EABI).  This is only useful if you are using a user

Or we could go one step further and make it 'depends on
EXPERT', short of removing it entirely.
