I've been trying to get a working cpp for Minix-386.  I've been at it
for about 12 hours now.  I'm frustrated.

I got what seems to be DECUS cpp from the plains archive, in the oz
directory.  I compiled it OK with bcc, but it barfs badly when fed any
input.

I got a port of gnu-cpp from earlier this year when Guy Helmer posted
it.  This also compiles just fine with bcc, but it also gags a little
bit on those *.x files in the kernel.

Where can I get a working cpp?  What modifications do I need to do so it
will work on all those *.x files?  What's the big secret?

I've been bashing my head against the wall all night.  It's 6:00 am
local time.  I'm going to bed.  I hope that when I get up some nice
person will have left some mail in my mailbox.  Thank you.
