There seems to be a problem with using gcc 2.3.1 on NeXTSTEP 3.0. When
it attempts to compile eprintf for libgcc, it dies saying:

In file included from /NextDeveloper/Headers/ansi/machine/stdarg.h:11,
from /NextDeveloper/Headers/ansi/stdarg.h:7, from
/NextDeveloper/Headers/ansi/stdio.h:18, from ./libgcc2.c:1155:
/NextDeveloper/Headers/ansi/m68k/stdarg.h:4: unterminated string or character constant 
/NextDeveloper/Headers/ansi/m68k/stdarg.h:30: unbalanced `#endif' 
*** Exit 1

This appears to be caused by the fact that
/NextDeveloper/Headers/ansi/m68k/stdarg.h uses // to begin a couple
of comments, and cpp is not interpreting them as comments because it is
processing a C file not objective-C or C++.

A hack at a solution was to include -lang-objc in the CPP_SPEC in
config/next.h. This adds -lang-objc argument to all the cpp runs, which
forces cpp to work in objective-C mode. This does appear to work (at
least to get gcc built) but forcing all preprocessing into objective-C
mode doesn't seem to be the "right" solution. Any help would be
appreciated.

Isn't // as the start of a comment not part of ANSI C also?

Just curious.
