This is not a bug, lint doesn't recognize the # ansi "tokenizer" because
it actually uses "cpp" and not "acpp" (lint ignores -ansi keywords).
This is really annoying...
Is there any fix to this?

Thanks a lot in advance,

I don't have a true fix, but I've been annoyed by this too.  My
solution (I call it a kludge) has been to preprocess the file with
acpp, redirecting to another file, and then running lint on that
second file.  It's not as nice as having lint use acpp directly
because line numbers don't always match up, but it does help somewhat.

Another solution is to "gcc -Wall".  Through in a few other warnings
if you so desire.  gcc gives substantially better warning messages
than either SGI's "cc -fullwarn" or lint.
