This syntax (with < >) is usually meant to denote fields (as if you were 
referring to field LYNXOS_178 in structure usr_fcontext_t).  To denote 
an #ifdef context (which is what I understand you want to do), I usually 
see this syntax:

   [LYNXOS_178] (usr_fcontext_t): ...

For example:

https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=gdb/ChangeLog-2017;h=aaadf142a4641ecd3feb26bc1dfa83dcc19e713c;hb=HEAD#l13806

Otherwise, it looks good to me.
