It's an ANSIism.  See K&R II, appendix A 12.8, concerning the
preprocessor.

   Also, besides "unknown_control_flow", what other options exist ?

It's implementation-dependent.  Ask your compiler author.  Oddly enough,
#pragma isn't in the SunOS 4.0.3 cc(1), cpp(1), or m4(1V) pages, nor in
the hardcopy _C_Programmer's_Guide_.
