Yep, I've seen it too.  It is a preprocessor limitation.  The only workaround
I know of is to build GNU cpp and use it.  (Fortunately, GNU cpp will compile
with the A/UX preprocessor; some of the rest of GCC won't!).  I think you 
should be able to get the GNU preprocessor working by using the config files
for a 3b1 and hacking it slightly--the differences between a Mac II and a 3b1
aren't in anything that affects the preprocessor.  I've got the GNU cpp working
(as far as I know...), but can't yet post it because I don't have a working 
connection between my Mac and my modem (the A/UX manuals list 3 possible
cable configurations, none of which agree with each other or with the cable
I got from Jameco.  Sheesh...)
