The main objection is this: the ANSI Standard says that a program
which doesn't include any header files should still have the same
behavior as when it does.

The best way to solve this nuisance would be to have some environment
variable that specifies default command-line arguments for gcc or cpp.
Then we could simply put -D__DJGPP__= there (in djgpp.env), and forget
about this issue.
