Comment (by malcolm.wallace at cs.york.ac.uk):

 Stripping C comments is part of the normal tokenisation behaviour of CPP.
 There are no options to gcc to turn it off.  See for instance
 http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-2.95.3/cpp_1.html#SEC2

 If you want to avoid C-tokenisation but still use CPP with Haskell, try
 cpphs instead.
