+This happens when a struct has no fields.
+csc (and also mcs a while ago) uses the ".size 1" hack to ensure the
+valuetype has a non-zero size. (mcs has been changed to add a dummy
+byte field, dunno why). The issue is that the marshal code only checks
+for fields and not for the .size hint and so it thinks the size of the
+struct is 0.
