Yes.

Frankly, I was wondering about that, too. I'm looking for the proper way
to set certain flags only for certain platforms.

Building works with mingw-w64 on Linux. I haven't tested if it works on
Windows. I think I have thoroughly tested the resulting binaries.

Without that clause, building fails on mingw-w64. Without the
conditional, it breaks other platforms. I can't tell you why, but it
works. I'm open for suggestions about how to do this in a cleaner way.
