Subject: [Linux-ia64] linker script preprocessing problem

In order to compile the test10 kernel with current FSF binutils/gcc sources,
I needed to add the -traditional option to the command that preprocesses the
linker scripts.  Otherwise the cpp output isn't valid linker input because it
has been tokenized for C.

The output looks a little strange, so there might be a temporary FSF gcc
instability here, but in general you should always use -traditional when
preprocessing something that isn't C source code.  Or else use something
that isn't C specific, like m4.
