GCC 1.36 recognizes the undocumented compiler switch "-ftraditional".

  $ cat t.c
  #define XX(X) 'X'
  main () { printf ("the char is '%c'\n", XX(A)); }
  $ gcc -traditional t.c && a.out
  the char is 'A'
  $ gcc -ftraditional t.c && a.out
  the char is 'X'
  $

Note the omission of an error message about "-ftraditional" being
unknown in the second case.
