The pre-processor emits crap like this:

# 1 "cmd_load.c"
# 1 "/proj/ppc/sysperf/sw/u/jdl/86xx/u-boot-86xx/common//"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command line>"
# 1 "cmd_load.c"
# 27 "cmd_load.c"
# 1 "/proj/ppc/sysperf/sw/u/jdl/86xx/u-boot-86xx/include/common.h" 1
# 30 "/proj/ppc/sysperf/sw/u/jdl/86xx/u-boot-86xx/include/common.h"

typedef volatile unsigned long vu_long;

Yeah, we're not going to be able to change those; they
are "By The Book".

Instead, we'll have to make the lexical analysis conscious
of something like a <newline> context sensitive token or so.
Or throw some flag to cpp to not emit location markers.

Or something.
