The following patch allows Errno.pm to build correctly on Mac OS X (I don't know whether it will break other platforms)​:

Would gcc exports step forward? How long back does the -traditional-cpp support go?

I see -traditional-cpp in a patched-up gcc-2.7.2 installation\, but I can't say for sure that it would be in a pristine version.

I am pretty sure that a plain old -traditional goes back a very long way\, perhaps even back to the gcc-1.x days. It's definitely used by perl4's Configure. Since we're explicitly invoking the preprocessor anyway with -E\, the differences between -traditional and -traditional-cpp are irrelevant.

I'd recommend -traditional.

However\, for 5.6.1\, I'd be really\, really cautious and make this conditional on Mac OS X. Who knows what vendor files will be getting included and parsed\, and with -traditional\, gcc will not define __STDC__ and may thus take a slightly different path through all system include files.

I'm not touching 5.6.1 at this point lest a tall dark man from Seattle whack my fingers with a maintenance pumpkin​:-)

What I did is that for bleadperl I added $Config{cppflags} to the above open() incantation and then added cppflags '-traditional-cpp' to hints/darwin.sh.
