>Description:
A switch statement will not accept a constant integer 
variable as a case label
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following program (Bug.c) using:
gcc -g -Wall -o Bug Bug.c

int main(void)
{
	const int nFOO = 1;
	int nFoo = 0;

	switch(nFoo){
		case nFOO:
			exit(1);
	}
	exit(0);
}

The following error occurs:
Bug.c:8: case label does not reduce to an integer constant

Expectation:
nFOO is a constant integer so it should be accepted as a 
case variable
