It's a bug in the SGS version of cpp.  A similar type of thing also
happens with:
#ifdef vms
#if some_identifier_containing_dollarsign
 ---
#endif /* some_identifier_containing_dollarsign */
#endif /* vms */

The solution I found was to define BandAidCompiler as "/dev/null" (that is
until I found needed a real BandAidCompiler include file).
