Based on the description above, I'd say yes. > Does it need to be wrapped in kernel version macros?

Wheezy is slowly being replaced with stretch or buster here as bit rot on spinning rust takes its toll. Some growing pains but they go away from a host based network by expunging avahi-daemon and dhcpcd. And runs sweet thereafter. Otherwise you'll be limited to your local net by routing trying to use a 169.254 address for inet access. Look at ip r returns if you can ping your local net but can't ping yahoo.com.
