No surprises there, because <foo>-c++ is something quite different from
<foo>-cpp!

Debian has released a version configured like this before I have, which
means that this piece of documentation is not yet online in the release
notes:

        The prebuilt binary packages no longer contain a separate
        driver, m68k-palmos-cpp, for the C preprocessor; if you want to
        generate preprocessor output you should use m68k-palmos-gcc -E
        instead. (And similarly for arm-.)

I see you preprocess the .rcp files with a real preprocessor before you
give them to PilRC.  Good plan.

Just rip out the M68K_CPP checks from configure.in and use "$(GCC) -E"
instead of "$(CPP)" in your $(RCP) rule in the makefile.  Or change the
definition of CPP to "@M68K_GCC@ -E" instead.  Easy either way, and -E
has been supported forever in GCC, so that'll support both prc-tools
versions without any effort.
