Comment (by ifigueroap):

 Replying to [comment:8 rwbarton]:
 > Oh, cpphs doesn't seem to understand the line continuation syntax. I
 guess you need a real C preprocessor.

 Thanks, you are right, I just run

 {{{
 gcc -E -I../ -I../stage1 GHC.c
 }}}

 (with a dirty rename to .c) in order to use a real C preprocessor, and
 althought I got several errorrs, the particular string is now in 1 line.

 Thanks!
