/* 8995 = sizeof(tar_header_t) * ARCHIVE_FILES */ followed by a hard-coded 8995 demonstrates that the source assumes the amount of padding an ABI will do. For Infineon TriCore, this does not hold. EABI v1.3 says: "To facilitate copy operations, any structure larger than 1 Byte must have a minimum 2 Byte alignment, even if its only members are byte elements.".
