PACK_STRUCT is only defined in JavaScriptCore/kjs/ustring.h and
WebCore/platform/DeprecatedString.h, and only for PLATFORM(ARM) (with
a gcc compiler)
In both files, it is used to have a struct { short x ; } be 2 bytes
instead of 4, which is harmless.

The only place PLATFORM(MIDDLE_ENDIAN) test is used is
JavaScriptCore/kjs/fpconst.cpp, to set NaN et Inf.
Anyways. I might be wrong, but are you sure ! __ARM_EABI__ is enough to
tell whether we are little endian or not ?
