We've had a "problem" with 3.2. Some conditional new code looked like this:
#define LONG_MACRO \ asm \ asm \ asm \ #ifdef FOO \ asm \ asm \ #else \ asm \ #endif \ asm \ asm
Interesting, isn't it? The fun part was that it was compiling cleanly in 3.2, but not in 2.95. Sadly, noone bothered to compile this with 2.95 for a long time.
