There is something about the preprocessors on Mac OS X which causes cpp to behave differently from gcc -E; I've hit this before but can't remember the full explanation offhand. You can see the difference, for example, if you try to use the ## operator. Does everything work if you get everything to use gcc -E for preprocessing?
