c - What is the purpose of a these #define within an enum?

I found this code in the linux headers, /usr/include/dirent.h:

enum   
  {    
    DT_UNKNOWN = 0,
# define DT_UNKNOWN DT_UNKNOWN
    DT_FIFO = 1,
# define DT_FIFO    DT_FIFO   
    DT_CHR = 2,
# define DT_CHR     DT_CHR
    DT_DIR = 4,
# define DT_DIR     DT_DIR
    DT_BLK = 6,
# define DT_BLK     DT_BLK
    DT_REG = 8,
# define DT_REG     DT_REG
    DT_LNK = 10,
# define DT_LNK     DT_LNK
    DT_SOCK = 12,
# define DT_SOCK    DT_SOCK   
    DT_WHT = 14
# define DT_WHT     DT_WHT
  };   

What is this construct for? - why define something with an identical string, which will then compile to the int value?

My guess is that some other code can then check if one of (or more of) these enum values have been defined using #ifdef.
