I got a problem building the FreeIPMI Ver 1.6.1 on a box with GCC 7.3.0.
The 'make' tool enters the 'man' subdirectory and calls the GCC
preprocessor, and it looks like it's unable to process input files.

Can anybody please take a look and invent some way to overcome that?

and comment from stackoverflow

The invocation format for the GCC 7.3.0 preprocessor has been changed - the output filename has to be prepended by the -o option, and all the free-standing filenames on the command line are considered input files.

Also the preprocessor became more strict about input formats it supports, so it can't be used to generate man-pages for the FreeIPMI anymore.
