That indentation style dates back to the good old days when it wasn't
portable to put '#error' in column 1.  gcc -Wtraditional
still warns about this; please see bullets 1 and 2 of:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.1/cpp/Traditional-miscellany.html#Traditional-miscellany

I know we needn't worry about this any more,
but old habits die hard, and anyway the "indent-before-#error"
style is long-established and harmless.
