Nope, I meant compilation depending on preprocessor variables defined
(or not) by the including file. CONFIG_* and things like make
variables are completely different things.

Imagine a chip driver (library) doing I/O using either MMIO or
inp/outp. The real card driver uses the library and provides
necessary glue code. You can either a) make I/O real function calls,
call using pointers etc. (slow, should be inline), or b) define the
I/O as inline functions or macros and then #include the library.
