[Bug bootstrap/28499] Bogus whitespace in preprocessor directives breaks bootstrap

ISO C90 was specified. Yes, my bad, ANSI does allow whitespace before the
"#"---but what of it? It's good practice anyhow to place the mark first, and
the Tru64 compiler isn't exactly alone in enforcing this convention.

(Is there _any_ good reason for having the whitespace? I don't mean a defense
of "but the standard allows it, your compiler sucks"---I mean, a hard,
technical reason for doing it that way instead of placing the "#" first?)
