Don't know that it's needed for freebsd-elf since FreeBSD-3.0 (which is still
in development) is the first release to officially support a native ELF tool
chain. It currently uses binutils-2.8.1 which supports MAX_SKIP_ALIGN (the
development tree never included an older version of binutils for use with
ELF). I would be very suprise to see someone doing a cross to freebsd-elf
using a version of binutils older than 2.8.1.
On the other hand, it certainly doesn't hurt to have the protective #ifdef.
