I seem to have been mistaken about the feature being glibc specific; using

     echo "" | cc -xc - -E

it seems the file does end up being included automatically.

However, when using clang instead of gcc, it isn't included 
automatically. I don't know if this is something that clang ought to 
fix, is there some sort of standard about <stdc-predef.h>? Michael 
Forney's cproc compiler doesn't seem to touch it either.

Do you know if clang can use the specfile? That would make it worth it 
adding the entry, since GCC has the expected behavior already.
