It's not a compiler keyword.  It's a macro.

__packed is defined in include/compat.h, which should be included in all 
files by using the "-include" switch to the compiler.  You can find 
"-include" in Makefile.inc.  You need to figure out why that switch is 
not passed to the compiler, or why it doesn't have the necessary effect.
