I think you should do it just like gcc.c and put the #define just before
the first usage of MKTEMP_EACH_FILE. ( it's only used in one small area ).

There was quite a flap over that. Now the gcc folks absolutely refuse
to make 2.96 an "official" release. I think we can safely ignore 2.96.

Read where cpp0 is cpp with the -E flag builtin. Since this was a bug fix
think it would be safe to assume so. However, since 2.97 is only
"developemental snapshots" the whole thing could change overnight.
