To my knowledge there is no problem with the current implementation. Endian conversion is already the reponsibility of the programmer. Therefore I don't see a need for changes on the compiler side.
It might be possible do define the individual bytes of a certain value in a bitpacked record to be located at certain bit positions by some complicated syntax, but if that is required for binary compatibility, that is not "nice" at all. A compiler option to optionally define the endianess is much more handy.
