My gcc -v gives:

Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

I've meanwhile tried other schemes which works OK with gcc and Sun's
cc compiler, but Sun's CC still refuses.

Apparently, macros are not expanded for some compilers before
concatenation.  For example,

  #define FOO xxx
  #define BAR FOO ## yyy

gives `FOOyyy' instead of `xxxyyy'.
