Well I think it would have to be the former seeing the latter would
still end up trying to compile the missing function. But having ifdefs
inside code is not generally seen as good idea[1].

I'd really like to go forward with either this patch or something like
it. The other two arches that have this problem are fine with merging a
fix and adding ifdefs to work around a single arch doesn't feel right to me.

Thanks,

Logan
