>Description:

When trying to build NetBSD 1.6.2 on Linux using gcc 3.3.3, the compilation
process fails with this error :
cc -O -I/tmp/obj/tools/compat -I/tmp/obj/tools/compat/include  -I/home/fred/src/

*** Error code 1    

Sorry for the localized messages :-/.

Here is the code involved :
#ifndef lint
__COPYRIGHT(
"@(#) Copyright (c) 1989, 1993\n\
        The Regents of the University of California.  All rights reserved.\n");
#endif /* not lint */

I thought the escaped newline was the origin of the problem, but it seems that
the macro __COPYRIGHT isn't there, because cdefs.h hasn't been included. Using
gcc -E, it seems that the native cdefs.h is included (/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h).
This native header file has of course no such macro on Linux. I couldn't find
any sys/cdefs.h in the included directories.
