Having looked at the origina awk code, I agree. Maybe, in the long
term, a lex/yacc grammar with a monolithic C program to write out
the headers wold be more suitable.
Having said that, I think what you did is already quite valuable
and will save some gcc developers from a few prmature grey hairs :-)
So, I would recommend to commit as is. Sanity checks do not have
to be perfect.
Thanks for taking this on!
Regards
Thomas
