Okay, sounds reasonable as long as the header files are the same. I still think in the long run you are better off getting rid of all the #if OS type of conditionals. I used to do this sort of thing to get around the differences in hpux and sun, but with each rev. things changed. If you can check for _exactly_ what you need you don't need to tweak the conditionals.....as often. autoconf makes this fairly easy.
