Thank you Thad for the explanation.

I moved the bug report to the feature request section
as gcc (4.02) compiles the example without complaint.

The example code is incorrect.  In Standard C character
constants are converted to tokens in translation phase 3. 
#if is processed in translation phase 4.  #if is designed to
surround code that is properly tokenized in C.  This is an
example of something that does not tokenize properly.

This is not a compiler bug.
