Avoiding #ifdefs that break statements.

[ghost]

A suggestion to compile entire statements and expressions, as suggested by code style guidelines from the Linux Kernel and practitioners.

It might improve code understanding, maintainability and error-proneness.

The theory looks good but i find the result code a lot less readable. To make
it more readable i'd create a macro IS_AF_INET_4_6 (or similar) with a different
definition if IPV6 is available or not.
