Note that there is no formal version such as 2.96 in GCC. See
<http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html>.

Feel free to apply your patch to the CVS yourself. If the macro
doesn't require the concatenation really, I have no objection to your
patch. However, don't forget that we shouldn't add any workaround for
gcc-2.96, as GCC developers pointed out. That is a Red Hat's fault,
so we shouldn't be blamed.
