Hello again gcc fans!

Thanks to all those who answered my question about large .EXE files! Now
I have a standard .OPT file that I use for linking. It simply contains:

gnu_cc:[000000]gcclib/l, sys$share:vaxcrtl/shareable

and my "Hello, world" program now only takes 4 blocks. But here is another
problem:

I wanted to test what predefined names exists in the gcc system. I made a
program containing several possiblities, gcc,gnu,vms,unix etc. But the
resulting program gave me problems. I shaved the program down to the
following, and compiled it with my gcc version 1.35 compiler on a microvax II,
vms 5.1:

define.c:

	main()
	{
	     printf("vms defined\n");
	}

Here is what happens when define.exe runs:

$ run define
vms defined
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=0000000C, 
PC=0000000C, PSL=00000004

Well, maybe the preprocessor takes "define" and does something strange, so
I tested this out:

	main()
	{
	     printf("vms define\n");
	}

and...

$
$ run define
vms define
$

Nope, that wasn't it. Is it "defined" then?

	main () 
	{ 
	   printf("hello, world I am defined\n");
	}
	
$ run hello
hello, world I am defined
%SYSTEM-E-EXQUOTA, exceeded quota
$

Yes, there seems to be a problem when you print out the word "defined".
A compiler bug, or what?
