It turns out there are two C++ modes, -XF (ARM compatible) and -Xf
(cfront 2.1 compatible).  -XF uses ansi style preprocessing, while -Xf
uses K&R style.  The preprocessing style can be specified by using -XAp
for ansi preprocessing and -XKp for K&R style.

Jerry Schwartz (jss@lucid.com) was kind enough to point this out to me.
