Wouldn't #if !__has_feature(objc_nonfragile_abi) be better?  We use something similar for ABI-breaking changes in classes via some horrible macros.

This has the advantage that it lets you incrementally migrate to the non-fragile ABI - eventually you can just drop the ivar generating part of the header generator entirely, unless you have some ivars that are supposed to be shared.

Wrapping the ivars in the @implementation in the same conditional would have the same effect.
