Description Tom Schulz 2008-06-10 17:45:22 UTC 
Gcc 4.2.4 (also 4.2.3) built for Solaris versions 2.5.1, 8 and 10 does not
handle a command line macro if the definition contains spaces.  This was
discovered while building Ghostscript.  Following is an example.

> gcc -DGX_COLOR_INDEX_TYPE="unsigned long long" test.c
gcc: long: No such file or directory
gcc: long: No such file or directory

Note that the definition is quoted.

Are you sure that your gcc program is not a shell script that calls the real gcc program.
Comment 2 Tom Schulz 2008-06-10 20:45:45 UTC 
I just checked and it is a shell script.  I should have thought of that.
Sorry for the noise.
