Hi Amitabh,

I think the fix for the above problem is pretty easy.  Unlike most cpp
implementations, the gcc compiler wants to read input always from a
file, not from stdin.  So please try:

  CPP='/usr/freeware/bin/gcc -E -traditional -'

where the very last "-" tells gcc to use stdin instead of a file.  It
works on my machine and it should (hopefully!) work for your SGI Origin,
too.
