When run on a 386 sysv machine, this procedure reduces file names in
Makefile.dist that look like this

  i386-foobar

into 

  1-foobar

This is (obviously) because the c-preprocessor considers this for to
be an expression and ``i386'' is predefined as ``1''.

Even though ansi says that there should not be predefined names like
this, I think that the config file should -U the ones it knows about,
namely ``i386'' and ``unix''.

Bob Withrow
