 Sorry for the late reply. I tried with intel 6.0,7.0 compilers on Linux.
 In both cases I am getting same result. Here are the details.
 
 [skdavasa@crystal tmp]$ cat t4.cpp 
 #include <stdio.h>
 
 struct C1 {
        int i;
        char c;
 };
 
 struct C2 : C1 {
        char c;
 };
 
 int main()
 {
         printf("sizeof (C1) = %d\n", sizeof (C1) );
         printf("sizeof (C2) = %d\n", sizeof (C2) );
         return 0;
 }
 
 [skdavasa@crystal tmp]$ icpc t4.cpp 
 t4.cpp
 [skdavasa@crystal tmp]$ a.out
 sizeof (C1) = 8
 sizeof (C2) = 8
 [skdavasa@crystal ~/tmp]$ icpc -V

 State-Changed-Why:
     Between 3.1.1 and 3.2, a number of ABI bugs have been fixed.
     This may be one of them. The question I have for you, is
     which version of the Intel compiler you have been using?
     If I use icc 6.0 on Linux, I get 8 and 12, so exactly
     the same results as with gcc3.2. So to me it seems as if
     they were now compatible in this respect.
     
     Thanks
       Wolfgang
