The compiler error is:
 /usr/include/bluetooth/bluetooth.h::131:9: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'bt_get_le64(void*)::<anonymous struct>*'
 ...

The reason is that C++, in contrast to C, does not allow conversion of
void * to anything, and this code gets compiled as C++ when the app is
written in C++. The macro with the assignment itself is older, but only
recent Bluez starts to use it in inline functions, thus triggering the
problem.

This patch keeps the "struct __attribute__((packed))" magic and merely
changes the typecast so that it works in C and C++. Like the existing
macro this patch relies on support for typeof.

The new variant of the code is in an ifdef and only used for C++
to avoid unexpected regressions in C applications.
