The preprocessor conditional is not the problem. The content to put within
conditionals is. Putting arch-specific data in a binary-all header means
I need to know the results of, say, configure on any arch the header
will be installed on when I'm initially putting together the package.

Again the problem is not with the check but with the desired output.
