Having to pick up an additional #include is sometimes a source of
trouble, because:

a) it's easy to forget (and hard to detect when having forgotten only
breaks the other platform)

b) one might not be able to assume this file is present (<sys/param.h>
is not in POSIX, for example)

Nevermind that, it's much better than not having the macro at all.
