In sys/src/tt/compc.pl.tt ($TOOL/bin/compc.pl), locate line 428 [if
($CPP)]:

There is a block that calls the preprocessor explicitely if $CPP is set.
This was probably added for some arcane platform where the preprocessor
isn't called as part of the compiler. Or its purpose was to allow for a
custom preprocessor when the cc internal processor was broken.

Anyway, no one around here could remember that it was used in the last
ten years. So 
a) it is not surprising that it doesn't work anymore
b) the whole block can be removed
