Although the autoconf style produces more-portable code, it's still nicer if glibc also works with programs that use the #ifdef strategy, as that makes it easier on developers who code just for glibc platforms. #ifdefs are simpler and are much faster at build time. Although the proposed patch isn't strictly necessary, it does seem like a minor improvement.
