Do we want #elifdef too?

In 0.16.5

In 0.16.5

Recursive defines are now trapped and skipped; it even protects against
problems like:

   #define x z
   #define y x
   #define z y
   x y z

In 0.16.5, including 'signed char' typedefs, casts, variables and
constant folding. AFAIK it all works as it should. However please
note the _default_ char type is still unsigned.

The bcc.c driver now checks options it would pass to ld86 and warns if
there are any it doesn't know.

So in all this now compiles and generates correct code in both 16 and 32
bit modes:
(Or at least similar to: gcc -funsigned-char )
