It's hard to tell without trying: even if is (or maybe was) needed for
one codebase doesn't mean it's required for a different one.

I found that it was introduced in binutils 2.19 for PR binutils/6526.
At the time (2008), it was required for Interix 3.5 support which is
long obsolete.

That said, I can try removing it completely on Solaris, Linux, and
FreeBSD.  If that' acceptable in general is hard to say in advance (but
likely).

It's certainly the safer route (could perhaps even be applied to the
2.45 branch if necessary), but also uglier if the condition isn't needed
after all.
