One thing I found while trying to build emacs was that the pragma has to be asserted before any "real" C code is seen by the compiler. Unfortunately, emacs includes first in some files, so it can give the "config.h" a chance to fix things up, so I can't put the pragma in "config.h". Is there any way of declaring the pragma from the command line?
