cpp in SunOS 3.5 botches a #define in <suntool/sunview.h>, which
actually reads:

> #define SUNVIEW.H

but appears to be interpreted as:

> #define SUNVIEW H

so that when faces/sunview.c tries in init_ws_type(), line 191, to set

> 	gtype = SUNVIEW ;

it turns into

> 	gtype = H ;

and the compiler barfs because it doesn't know what "H" is.

I used the following workaround:

> #ifdef SUNVIEW
> #define MYFOO	SUNVIEW
> #undef SUNVIEW
> #endif
> 	gtype = SUNVIEW ;
> #ifdef MYFOO
> #define SUNVIEW	MYFOO
> #undef MYFOO
> #endif
