libXi-1.3.2: SIGBUS in ParseClassInfo on sparc/64 bit

This attribute is highly compiler specific. I'll think it'll work for
gcc, but unfortunately, I'm using SunStudio.

Note that I've seem some ptr in some info struct, too (if I remember
correctl). So be prepared for the case that sizeof(XID) != sizeof(void*)
(although I don't know of any platform where this is the case).

I think it'll be best to use some union (is this a c99 feature?) of an
XID, a *void and a struct with the real members or rewrite the placement
code like Julien has suggested.
