Because its extra maintaince work and leads to hard to find bugs.
Just look in this thread,
it was about some code which ended up under that #ifdef which then
broke compilation with --disable-encoders. The first proposed fix (which
needed reviewing time) would have fixed it by disabling some png
decoding optimizations. If i would have missed that (possible, iam just
a human ...) --disable-encoders would have caused the decoders to be
mysteriously slower.

Without #ifdefs none of these problems would have occured. The warnings
can as well be suppressed by attribute unused or -wno-whatever.

Its not that you shouldnt use gotos but rather that you should write
readable code and code with gotos often but not always is less readable
