Using the very latest gcc, as checked out a couple of hours ago,
and Debian unstable's libc-2.2.2, I tried to build texinfo-4.0b
(ftp://texinfo.org/texinfo/pretests/texinfo-4.0b.tar.gz)
but was surprised to get this failure:
info.c:8:1: directives may not be used inside a macro argument
info.c:8:1: unterminated argument list invoking macro "printf"
Of course, the original line numbers were different.
Using /usr/bin/gcc:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/specs
gcc version 2.95.4 20010319 (Debian prerelease)
it compiled just fine.
Here's the pared-down info.c:
---------------------------------
#define printf(fmt, args...) fprintf (stdout, fmt, ## args)
static void
info_short_help ()
{
printf ("%s",
#ifdef __MSDOS__
"a"
#else
"b"
#endif
);
}
---------------------------------
Compiling the above with /usr/bin/gcc succeeded.
If the definition of printf above (extracted from glibc's stdio.h)
is valid, then I suppose this is a problem with gcc.
