Yes, that's a risk, but as the code is shaping up right now,
I do not foresee FAMFS becoming a module(?)

You're probably going to need to add stub inline functions
for all the functions from famfs.c and a few more wrappers
I guess.

The right amount of ifdefs in C files is really a matter of judgement,
but the fewer the better for code flow clarity.
