 we have received thus far.  Nearly all of the real work is done in the

 The GNU C preprocessor took less than 45 seconds to perform the 2nd pass 
 on the Amdahl 5890-300E.  But due to the ANSI-likeness of GNU cpp (v. 1-21), 
 it was not able to cleanly substitute a symbol that began with a '#'.
 Clearly the GNU C preprocessor is faster.
