Yes, it does look Ok, but I'd change the comment a bit (mostly grammar
changes).  In fact, to avoid the back-and-forth about the comment, I 
rewrote the comment for you in a way that seems Ok to me --

/* We pad the structure manually to prevent warning when -Wpadded
   is used.  The compiler automatically pads the structures that it 
   generates, so this manually padded structure still matches the one 
   generated by the compiler, but if we don't pad manually, -Wpadded 
   detects that padding is being added and generates annoying warnings.
   This hack is necessary as on LLP64 targets sizeof (long) isn't equal 
   to sizeof (void *).  */

So, Ok to apply with this reworked comment (or if you don't like it, feel free
to propose another one). ;-)

Thanks
