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).
