  Just ran into a strange one here.  Apparently the SR9.7 /usr/lib/cpp has
problems outputting extremely long lines.  When the imake program
distributed with X.V11R2 tried to use /usr/lib/cpp to process the top
level Imakefile, /usr/lib/cpp introduced newlines in its output lines
where no newlines were present in its input lines.

  This is curious because the X.V11R2 installation document says that
X.V11R2 has been successfully built on SR9.7.  Someone must have a newer
copy of /usr/lib/cpp than I do.  Is this going to be fixed in SR10?

  I got things going by grabbing the 4.3BSD cpp and compiling it.  This
seems to be working fine.
