    Is that a gcc bug, or an ansi violation on suns part


    /usr/include/suntool/panel.h:35: warning: garbage at end of #ifdef argument

    /* new attributes should start at PANEL_LAST_ATTR + 1 */
    #ifdef ecd.color
    #define	PANEL_LAST_ATTR			127
    #else
    #define	PANEL_LAST_ATTR			125
    #endif

It's not ANSI, it's not even K&R.  The identifiers for #ifdef are the same
as C identifiers; they can't have '.' characters in them.  That #ifdef has
been parsed by Sun's CC as #ifdef ecd, which just happened to "work".
