With version 2.0, one could define which preprocessor was to be used with the cppC environment variable. This was very useful since by default the compiler used sun's cpp, which is not ansi-compliant. This possibility does not seem to exist on the 2.1 compiler: cppC is ignored, and there is no mention in the man page of the possibility of using any other preprocessor. Does anyone know how I could do this, apart from manually running it through the preprocessor and then giving CC-2.1 the result?
