Yes, but it should be:
#define __packed __attribute__((packed))
in sys/cdefs.h.
This allows us to provide an alternative __packed implementation for some
other mythical compiler some day.
The same goes for __format_arg(n) in stdio.h. And so on. We've been pretty
clean about it so far, but a few have slipped through.
