A bit more on this. I understood from PD's recent post that RH7.0 uses
gcc 2.96, even though that is not yet released accoring to the gcc site
(gcc.gnu.org) has as NEWS for Sept 11, 2000:

   Neil Booth has contributed a new lexer and macro-expander for the C
   preprocessor. The lexer makes a single pass over the source files,
   whereas previously it made two. The macro expander works without
   re-scanning for nested macros to expand, and operates on lexical tokens
   instead of text strings.

   ISO C, C++, and Objective C use the new preprocessor. Traditional (K+R)
   C, Fortran, and Chill use an older implementation (taken from GCC 1)
   which obeys the rules for pre-standard C preprocessing. Either version
   may be used to preprocess assembly language.

I wonder if this is a problem with using a beta compiler?
