The "#endif /* not FOO */" version provides the extra information that
there *is* an "#else" clause -- which might be helpful if the clauses
are spaced very far apart.  If "#endif /* FOO */" is then consistently
used only for cases with no "#else", some code may be (very) slightly
easier for people to parse.

(As that was your recommended approach, this is nothing more than a
an observation supporting that preference.)
