Thanks for your report.

What I have done for 1.6beta6 is to change the target util/config.0 in
makefile to echo "not_configured" instead of "not configured".

The problem is that the String.mc looks like:

        ... RANGEFAULT (
#line 187
        a, b, c) ....

and RANGEFAULT is a preprocessor macro. Some cpp do not like the
presence of the "#line" in the middle of the macro. I have fixed the
compiler. As a fix, you can move "RANGEFAULT (" after the "#line".
