I have nothing against #ifdefs in general and it has nothing to do with personal taste:
#ifdeffing (what a wonderful neologism) an interface means: client code that wants to work regardless of whether the macro is defined or not requires #ifdefs as well.
Further it seems to me a very bad idea to have the interface that's inside a compiled library file depend on other aspects than the what's mangled into the filename (as you most certainly can imagine things can especially get ugly with shared libraries).
