Why do you assume that?  As a matter of fact, neither it or the
Fourth Generation "make" are in the latest System V release.  The
"cpp" in S5R3 is the one in S5R2 with the addition of support for
"#elif", some miscellaneous bug fixes, and support for a few new
command-line options.

It might be nice if the 4GM "cpp" - perhaps modified to be an ANSI C
preprocessor (according to another posting I've seen, it supports a
"gluing" operator that is, unfortunately, different from the ANSI C
one) - ended up in a release at some point; however, things seem to
trickle into S5 *very* slowly, so it may be a while.
