No idea, but emacs mode is pretty clear on this: you don't get
syntax highlighting when moving the # beyond column 1.

What I usually do is to indent the directive after the #:

#ifdef MX_BUILDING_MXDATETIME
# define MXDATETIME_EXTERNALIZE MX_EXPORT
#else
# define MXDATETIME_EXTERNALIZE MX_IMPORT
#endif
