As I read it, $IF/$IFEND was added to Delphi in Delphi 6. FPC supports
this construction much longer, I think since the 0.9.x series. The FPC way
has always been to use $ENDIF and FPC will of course not break
compatibility with itself. Go ask Borland why they wanted to be FPC
incompatible :)

You could make it dependent on the compiler mode, but I don't see the
point, any Delphi code will still compile.
