No.  It will also compile the unreachable code.  And that is good.
You should never write code that doesn't compile.  One of the big
problems with the C preprocessor is that it prevents the compiler from
checking the deactivated parts for syntax errors.

Anyway: Put the system-specific code in one (or more) separate
packages with a common specification and all the system-variations
hidden in the bodies.
