Michael Felt <aixto...@felt.demon.nl> added the comment:
The current PR8709 resolves two issues, not one - so will create a new issue
for the second element.
Am also shorting the NEWS text, with the expanded explanation here as:
* skip the distutils test 'test_search_cpp' when not gcc as compiler
because not all compilers, e.g. IBM xlc et al do not support
redirected stdout when using the argument -E (aka cpp_preprocessing)
while gcc is know to support the pair -E -o outputfile
The additional find while researching this issue:
* add the argument '-C' for AIX xlc cpp processing so comments are
included in the cpp output rather than replaced by a single ' ' (space)
char.
