Right, #ifdef spaghetti in c files is ugly. But, hm, for the Linux
kernel, there's often a "stubs" style used in header files for
just that, to avoid dragging #ifdef's all over the place. For
example:

http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.10/source/net/batman-adv/distributed-arp-table.h#L106
Or:
http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/source/include/linux/if_bridge.h#L64

What do you think, in general, could such a concept be applicable for
iPXE build options, too?
