OK, if "__GPC__" is predefined, this is viable. I didn't know about this,
I tried just "GPC"...

No, it seems to be an installation problem.
Up to now, I could trace it down to the fact that "-D__GNUC_MINOR__=0(2" is
passed to cpp if called via gpc, instead of "-D__GNUC_MINOR__=7" with gcc.
I'm not sure yet why this is so, does it have anything to do with
"gpc version 2.0(2.7.2.1)"?
