The usual tips for such an error:

1) Does it still occur after you did "make distclean", then reconfigure
   and "make"?

2) Use CC="gcc -no-integrated-cpp" to get higher quality diagnostics from GCC.

3) Run "make V=1" to see the actual compilation command line. [1]
   Then modify that command line to add -E instead of -c -o options, and
   redirect that preprocessor output to a file. Analyze it.
