Attribute packed deprecated?

Hi, 

when compiling linux-2.6.7 with a crosstool generated
arm-softfloat-linux-gnu toolchain (3.4.0 with binutils 2.14 - 2.15
didn't work because of this NOAPP asm problem) I get lots of warnings
like this one: 

In file included from ../include/bits/string2.h:1,
                 from ../string/string.h:375,
                 from ../include/string.h:49,
                 from ../linuxthreads_db/thread_dbP.h:5,
                 from ../linuxthreads/descr.h:43,
                 from ../linuxthreads/internals.h:29,
                 from ../linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/bits/libc-lock.h:27,
                 from ../nss/getXXbyYY.c:21,
                 from getgrgid.c:30:

../string/bits/string2.h:85: warning: `packed' attribute ignored
../string/bits/string2.h:86: warning: `packed' attribute ignored

Any idea if this might do some harm? What could a correct solution look like?
