I'm trying to set up a Fedora 12 build machine, and running into problems.

I keep running into the c preprocessor problem when building guile listed here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/guile-de...@gnu.org/msg04783.html

It seems to be specific to Fedora's gcc 4.2.2, not to the upstream version. I tried using mcpp ( with ln -s /usr/bin/mccp /usr/local/bin/cpp ), but got the same result.

Is there any way to downgrade to a pre-F12 gcc?

The patch in the thread did the trick:
