No. Extract from gcc documentation:

"Two attributes are currently defined for i386 configurations: 
|ms_struct| and |gcc_struct"

For non i386 configuration, these configurations are undefined:

mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc -c -Wall test.c
test.c:3: warning: ‘gcc_struct’ attribute directive ignored

Therefore, we cannot use gcc_struct for most supported hosts.
Linux i386 or x86_64 would support it, but they don't need it...

We need one #if ... #else ... #endif to avoid 250 of them :-)
