So then the correct fix would be this:

changequote([, ])dnl
(don't change the configure script, change the macros it was built
from.) Can someone with RH verify this works?

PS. I'd say their cpp is broken, if only for the surprise factor.
A gcc 2.97 CVS snapshot from February I occasionally use for testing
does not show this behaviour.
