Sorry, my C-fu is lacking. My makefile claims it uses gcc -E, but I'm not sure 
how to get a look at results after macro expansion 

However... I looked again at the output of the make command on some ubuntu 
buildfarm members, and the results were different enough that I got suspicous 
of the flex/bison derived files in the snapshot, so I decided to build from 
cvs and that works fine.  FWIW I am using flex 2.5.31 and bison 2.1, not sure 
what is used to produce the snapshots...
