Well after our FrontBurner C language plugin for CSCC works out fine.
Objective-C ,Managed C++ etc are possibilities .... once all the complex
pointer & function pointer details are worked out for C , the rest should
be easier (but not trivial).

Move the -no-cpp-precomp to CPPFLAGS please ... IMHO that is the only
possible solution I have ...

I reproduced your error by doing an export CPP= "/usr/bin/cpp -nostdinc"...
The "-nostdinc" when moved to CPPFLAGS solves this error .

You may have to edit configure.in to set CPPFLAGS, as it seems to be
hardcoded rather than obtained from the shell exports .

So, edit configure.in, ./auto_gen.sh , ./configure ....

Hope that helps,
