I think it's a bad idea, because:

  - We don't really need it.  If some ugly hack needs to be conditionalised,
  it can be done in the patch itself (e.g. via __FreeBSD_kernel__).

  - It'll set a precedent in conditionalising _all_ our porting patches,
  including those that are clean.  As a consequence, we'll have to periodicaly
  send patch updates to the glibc package everytime they fail to apply (I've
  seen this happen in gcc, for example.  But here the patchset is much bigger).
