Gcc version 27 (which, by the way, says it is version 26) chokes when
compiling the Sun include file <sundev/vuid_event.h>.  This file has
the following strange comment in it:

#ifdef	COMMENT
...
	have to be concerned.  In fact, the vuid interface doesn't
...
#endif	COMMENT

The Gcc complains as follows:

faron% gcc -g -O  -mc68020 -c  t.c
/usr/include/sundev/vuid_event.h:39: unterminated character constant
faron%

when I compile the following code:

#include <sundev/vuid_event.h>
main(){}

Note that line 39 of vuid_event.h is the line in the "ifdef" with the
word "doesn't".

Use the -traditional flag.

This is a consequence of GNU's cpp being ANSI compatible by default.
