unexpected parse error in #define

I wouldn't normally expect that continuations lines
would be treated differently when using #define with a
macro that takes arguments vs. one which doesn't.
Didn't see anything in the CPP manual which describes
this, but don't have a copy of the ANSI standard to
know whether this is specified or not:
[etalvo@hobo etalvo]$ more test.c
#define FOO a \
{ a(); }
[etalvo@hobo etalvo]$ more test3.c
#define FOO(r) a \
{ a(); }
[etalvo@hobo etalvo]$ gcc -c test.c
test.c:3: parse error before `{'
[etalvo@hobo etalvo]$ gcc -c test3.c
[etalvo@hobo etalvo]$
[etalvo@hobo etalvo]$ gcc -v
Reading specs from
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2
release)
(this happens with 2.95.2 on Sun Solaris 2.6 as well).
