I think adding #ifdef ENABLE_GSS as per your prior message is better.
Headers have little business making assumptions about the context in
which they're included --- which is exactly why headerscheck exists ---
so I disagree with Stephen's argument. In any case I am not in favor of
making random exclusions from that script's testing.
