FWIIW, looks like a limitation of the preprocessor in pcc:

   __syscall(
#ifdef SYS_mmap2

becomes after -E

   __syscall(#ifdef SYS_mmap2 ....

works around easily by moving the conditional out of the parentheses:

Othwerwise, pcc does not look robust against arithmetic expressions:

pcc -std=c99 -nostdinc -ffreestanding -fexcess-precision=standard -frounding-math -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700 -I./arch/x86_64 -I./src/internal -I./include  -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -Wa,--noexecstack -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -Werror=implicit-int -Werror=pointer-sign -Werror=pointer-arith -fno-stack-protector  -c -o src/math/asinhl.o src/math/asinhl.c
src/math/asinhl.c, line 25: compiler error: Cannot generate code, node 0x5be9e0 op TEMP
error: XXXXXXXX/libexec/ccom terminated with status 1

src/math/asinhl.c:
24:             /* |x| >= 2 */
25:             x = logl(2*x + 1/(sqrtl(x*x+1)+x));

I will check this one on the pcc list.
