Why is this feature listed under the Windows architecture section?
> Support of push/pop-macro pragma as preprocessor command. With #pragma push_macro("macro-name") the current definition of macro-name is saved and can be restored with #pragma pop_macro("macro-name") to its saved definition.
That's something that can come in handy on any platform.

GCC somtimes has implemented nonstandard features required to compile against platform headers, but only enabled the feature for that one platform (so as to not encourage use of the nonstandard features). I assume that's what happened here.
