Umm, yes they are -- by Apple's cpp.

However, the gcc front end on wuarchive only defines _AUX_SOURCE and I didn't
yet have the time to ftp the sources and change it.

The second problem is that just as there are some programs which need the
appropriate flags, some need them undefined... :-(

Playing around with compiler options instead of fixing the sources isn't a
good idea in the general case, of course -- but kludging a programs into
compiling and running correctly usually is somewhat faster than having to dig
around in the source code and fix the program's portability problems.
