I verified with the following compilers:
Linux 32bit/64bit (gcc4.7.4)
linux arm gcc-Version 4.7.2 20120731 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG
linaro-1.13.1+bzr2458 - Linaro GCC 2012.08)
powerpc-rtems4.10.2 (mvme2100 cpu=603e)
tornado-2.2 (CPU=MC68040)
At least for gcc bit field packing is LSB_first for little endian and
MSB_first for big endian machines.
If you are afraid of breaking existing code, how about this:
#if defined(_WIN32) || defined(_M_IX86) || defined(_X86_)
#define LSB_First (TRUE) /* LSB is packed first. */
#elif defined(__i386__) || defined(_armv4l_) || defined(_X86_64_) ||
defined(__APPLE__)
#define LSB_First (TRUE) /* LSB is packed first. */
#elif defined(i386)
#define LSB_First (TRUE) /* LSB is packed first. */
#elif defined(sparc) || defined(m68k) || defined(powerpc)
#define MSB_First (TRUE) /* MSB is packed first. */
#elif defined(ppc603e)
#define MSB_First (TRUE) /* MSB is packed first. */
#elif defined(CPU) && ((CPU == PPC604) || (CPU == PPC603) || (CPU ==
PPC85XX) || (CPU == MC68040) || (CPU == PPC32))
#define MSB_First (TRUE) /* MSB is packed first. */
#elif defined(__GNUC__)
#include <epicsEndian.h>
#if (EPICS_BYTE_ORDER == EPICS_ENDIAN_LITTLE)
#define LSB_First (TRUE)
#else
#define MSB_First (TRUE)
#endif
#else
#error: unknown bit order!
#endif
