cpp deletes tab characters.

Your imake.c should have something like this in it:


/*
 * It is known that we need this kludge on the following machines:
 *
 * 	sun, hpux, macII, CRAY, att
 *
 * The latter group all happen to be SYSV as well.
 */

#if defined(sun) || defined(SYSV) || defined(hpux)
#define REDUCED_TO_ASCII_SPACE
#endif
#ifdef REDUCED_TO_ASCII_SPACE
int	InRule = FALSE;
#endif

/*
 * Some versions of cpp reduce all tabs in macro expansion to a single
 * space.  In addition, the escaped newline may be replaced with a
 * space instead of being deleted.  Blech.
 */
#ifndef REDUCED_TO_ASCII_SPACE
#define KludgeOutputLine(arg)
#define KludgeResetRule()
#endif
