I find the test code a bit hard to understand... Also, I see comments making assumptions that are not true: struct test_small_hole { size_t one; char two; /* 3 byte padding hole here. */ int three; unsigned long four; }; On m68k (and a few other architectures), integrals of 16-bit and larger are aligned to a 2-byte address, so the padding may be only a single byte.
