This ticket comes from this conversation.
The packing documentation says the following:
The first character of the format string can be used to indicate the byte order, size and alignment of the packed data
To reproduce the issue apply the following diff:
diff --git a/examples/c/ex_pack.c b/examples/c/ex_pack.c
index b0e03114e..1af9af122 100644
--- a/examples/c/ex_pack.c

+ error_check(wiredtiger_struct_pack(session, buf, size, ">iii", 42, 1000, -9));
error_check(wiredtiger_struct_unpack(session, buf, size, "iii", &i, &j, &k));

And then execute the ex_pack.c test after compiling the changes:
