I take it you're using gcc?  It's been a while since I've needed to do
this, but looking at the gcc man page, -E tells it to stop after
preprocessing.  Have a look, you may need to understand this all
pretty thoroughly before you're done -- and there are lots of commands
for the preprocessor that can help you sort this sort of problem out.

You want to hack your compilation so the compilation stops after the
preprocessing stage.  

If you're using a makefile, cut and paste the line from the makefile, as
long as there aren't too many variable substitutions, and add -E
before the filename; otherwise, run the makefile, capture the output,
and modify it to add a -E flag, and run from the commandline.

Looks like you also need to tell it where to save the file: -o outfilename

Then you look at outfilename, and see if the linenumbers and the
errors make more sense.
