What's the rationale for this?

This is not how it works. Split the include file in a first step and
then make changes to the PPC side.

The guards reflect the header file name and are not randomly chosen strings.

But aside of that. How is any of this supposed to compile?

You move the typedef into a separate header and then nothing (except
powerpc) includes it. Oh well.
