The full command I ran was:
pcc -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700 -I./arch/i386 -I./arch/generic
-Iobj/src/internal -I./src/include -I./src/internal -Iobj/include
-I./include -DBROKEN_EBX_ASM -E src/complex/catan.c
And that's what pcc spit out (with a similar expansion of cimag() in
line 92). I don't understand pcc's inner workings enough to say why.

I'm beginning to think the assembly problems might have to do with my
particular setup rather than be a bug in the source. This morning I
forgot to put an i386 GNU toolchain in my path before running make,
and was getting assembler errors about push and pop, which went away
once I added the i386 GNU toolchain to PATH.
