Is it my imagination, or is it really impossible to get the XLC
C preprocessor to allow macros with variable parameter lists?

The following produces warnings but processes correctly for SunOS 4.1,
and no warnings for AIX/1.2.1 but fails for AIXv3.1 

#define DEBUG(x)        printf x

I've tried the four flavors of cpp supported by -qlanglvl flag.
Same result.  Interestingly the cpp,
/usr/lpp/X11/Xamples/util/cpp/cpp,  provided with X works.
Do I really have to use the X11 cpp to make reasonable 
debug macros?
