Or they did know, and decided they did not want a spurious warning when 
compiling with "-Wundef" that generates a warning before replacing 
undefined identifiers with 0 in #if directives.  Personally, I always 
use -Wundef in my own code, because I think the "default to 0" treatment 
makes it far too easy for typos to go unnoticed.  I have no idea if the 
glibc folk agree with that and like to use -Wundef themselves, or if 
they just like to make their code as "warning-proof" as possible.
