Subject: Owl version 0.1 and building XFree86 from cvs

Hello!
Just discovered small problem while building yesterday cvs XFree86 with my 
Owl version 0.1 By default Owl is using GNU GCC compiler version 2.95.3 which 
is lack of support '-undef' command line options [/lib/cpp -undef], 
so it can't make right man pages.  I have not tried to build xfree man-pages 
with later GNU GCC versions like 3.x.
here is my report:

     VERSION:

R6.5.1

     CLIENT MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:

Owl (version 0.1) Linux 2.2.20 on Intel(x86) (http://www.openwall.com/Owl/)

     DISPLAY TYPE:

XF86_*

     WINDOW MANAGER:

xterm

     COMPILER:

gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

     AREA:

config

     SYNOPSIS:

If you have gcc version 2.95.3 compiler, then man pages wont build, because of
GNU GCC version 2.95.3 doesn't support '-undef' command line switch. 

     DESCRIPTION:

Example:
$ cd ~/code/xc/programs/Xserver
$ make install.man
rm -f Xserver._man
/lib/cpp -undef -traditional  -D__apploaddir__=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults -D__filemansuffix__=5x -D__miscmansuffix__=7 -D__drivermansuffix__=4 -D__projectroot__=/usr/X11R6 -D__xorgversion__='"Release 6.5" "X Version 11"' -D__vendorversion__="Version `echo 4 1 99 2 | sed 's/ /./g'` XFree86"  <Xserver.man | sed -e '/^#  *[0-9][0-9]*  *.*$/d' -e '/^XCOMM$/s//#/' -e '/^XCOMM[^a-zA-Z0-9_]/s/^XCOMM/#/' >Xserver._man
cpp: Invalid option `-undef'

and now you have empty Xserver._man
Simple solution is to disable to use '-undef' command-line option with '/lib/cpp' 
in config files (xc/config/cf/*) while building with GNU GCC 2.95.3


     REPEAT BY:

Install GNU GCC 2.95.3 and try to {build and install} xfree86 man pages.

     SAMPLE FIX:






regards.
