NO ONE should have ever have been using /usr/libexec/cpp directly.  I
have no idea where this usage came from.  /usr/bin/cpp should have been
used.

Yes this is very well known, and has been discussed on both Ports and
Current several times.  A new /usr/bin/ccp is in the works that is a real
binary and not the shell script we have today.

*IF* world had been buildable today, we would probably have a new
/usr/bin/cpp that does everything you want it to.

So use ``cc -E'' instead.  Simple.
