First I wanna say thanks to all that helped.  This has got to be the most
vocal group I've ever asked a question in...;)

Here's the summary about this question:

My question was about macro substitution.  The code I'd gotten the macros
that broke under GCC looked like:
  #define MUL(x,y)  ((x) << (y/**/Shift))
and was used like:
  MUL(this,that)
to get:
  ((this) << (that Shift));
where 'that Shift' should have been 'thatShift'.

There are two sugestions on how to fix this situation:

First, use the -traditional flag with GCC.  This turns off the /**/= ' '
rule, but also has other effects, and is not recommended because it changes
other rules also.

Second, instead of /**/, use ## as in:
  #define MUL(x,y)  ((x) << (y##Shift))
to get:
  ((this) << (thatShift));



Thanks to all for your quick response!

 Real Programs don't use shared text.  Otherwise, how can they use
 functions for scratch space after they are finished calling them?
