It is not the precompiler, it is the compiler itself. The source file 
is way too big, I've replaced it with a smaller version in my last 
checkin. The file contains a lot of functions that can be used in the 
method table of an Objective-C class and the forward the call to python.

I hope to find a better way to do this in the future, maybe using 
libffi.
