	Does anybody know a quick way (other than looking in a manual) to
determine what preprocessor symbols are available for a compiler?
For instance, how would I easily determine that:

__STDC__
sparc
sun
unix

are known by my (sun c) compiler?  Thanks in advance from a rusty, but 
improving, old hacker.
