I asked the same question about a week ago.  I got the following
answer that solved the problem.

    Subject: X problems


    We had some problems with a different alignment strategy in structures
    between Pyramids and others machines (Vaxen, Suns) ...
    For example, sizeof(Vertex) is 6 bytes on Vaxen and 8 bytes on Pyramids.
    You can try the -q option of cc.

    [Francis Dupont] dupont@inria.inria.fr or ..!seismo!mcvax!inria!dupont


Would someone from Pyramid care to comment on the undocumented "-q"
option to cc?
