This sounds like a bug in cpp. I can't find the relevant change in the
GCC 4.4.2 changelog:
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/changes.html
This seems to be new and undocumented behaviour which has affected other
software projects:

Which files were specifically affected by this change?
If you tell the invocation of CPP affected to use the '-P' option, does
this resolve the issue?
