Then why did you add them in the first place?

It looks like you're going to reject anything I come up with on
grounds of prejudice.  I don't feel like wasting my time trying to
figure out some way to fix stuff you broke just to have you reject it
with a stupid reason.

Here's my design suggestion: include a sysdeps header file any time
you find yourself adding streams of machine-specific defines.  Then
port maintainers will even get saner build errors.

If I make such a change to this file and to that oh-so-beautiful
stream of multiple ifdefs you ``designedÂÂ to introduce plt audit,
what reason are you going to use to reject it?
