cpp makes spaces because it is required by ANSI to prevent token
concatenation between macro a expansion and the context.  The spaces
are the simples way to do so.  It may be possible to avoid them
in some cases, but not in all.

It seems that X11 is making invalid assumptions about what cpp does;
perhaps X11 should be fixed not to do that.
