My name is Marius Gaubas (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/marius-gaubas/5b/63b/3a4). The evicence is very clear. I invoke syscall:stat directly from assembly code and in the debugger I clearly see see that st_nlink (==2) goes before st_mode (==040700). It clearly makes sense: 8 8 4 8 is not aligned. The series reflects the sizes of the first for structure members. st_nlink/st_mode values are clearly specific to my test, I hope that's clear.
