Now I see the reason.

But my question then is: how to make gcc automatically align
LARGER_INTEGER fields on 8 bytes like that?

I write a small test code with the NDK headers, and compile with gcc.
The result binary put CriticalSectionTimeout at 0x6C, not at 0x70.

Because ReactOS can be compiled with gcc, I guess there is an option
for gcc to do that. But I looked around for a while to no avail.

Anybody please enlighten me?
