I have no quibble with removing the line continuation, but the
construct your preprocessor objected to is strictly conforming
C, so you might want to queue a low-priority bug report on it.
Unmodified GCC has no problem with it (or I would have noticed
the extra backslash myself) so Apple's modifications introduce
a bug somewhere.


I don't remember exactly how I ran into the bug, and even if
I could reproduce it it might be hard to dig through the Makefiles
to isolate the problem.  (It doesn't happen with 'make boostrap'
of course - only some use of plain non-argument 'make'.)

But I put the "bug" back in my working tree, and maybe I'll trigger
the error again.
