Evidently, there is a sequence of bytes getting into cpp which inhibits it
from recognizing the trailing backslash.  I may have shed a little light on
this; if I run the files through indent, ^M characters appear, and, after
deleting them and fixing the errors attendant upon breaking up the macros, it
is possible to get a compilation with a .s file apparently matching another
installation of egcs-1.0.2, aside from changed names of symbols.  My next step
will be to try to trace the execution in gdb, as it still doesn't run right.
