Classic use case: creating a packed structures to directly read TCP packets. There is still the "convert from big to little endian" problem, but I think you can use GCC's method for individually packing a struct: struct T

Note that the debugger (jdb) isn't listed -- for a good reason. I never understood why jdb is so poor being such a critical tool.
