That's not a comment.

It's  a  mechanism  used  by  cpp (and other preprocessors as
well) to tell cc1 (the real C compiler) in which  input  file
and  line  number  it actual is compiling. If you remove this
information, compiler error messages cannot tell you  anymore
the "real" location of the error.

Does anyone know if it's possible to suppress the comment ' 
#line nn ...' which appear in the C file, after pre-processing with 
ecpg.
