Ah ok.  Missed that one when I RTFM.  You don't need the space though. One
teensy flaw.  
The prebuilt rtems compiler I'm using (being stuck unable to build my own
for now) can't find cpp0.  I copied that into C:\cygwin\opt\rtems\bin from
C:\cygwin\opt\rtems\lib\gcc-lib\m68k-rtems\2.95.3 and it works. However, I
now have syntax errors in my assembly but the line numbers refer to the
preprocessed output rather than the original file.
Closer inspection of my workaround to use gcc -E reveals something more
insidious and slightly 
surprising.  Gcc -E produces no output at all.  This seems to go for both
the cygwin native gcc and
the rtems one.  If I run cpp0.exe directly I get output.  Neither cpp or gcc
put anything on stdout.
I know the preprocessor works (people would have noticed if it didn't!) so
what am I Missing?

Okay.  I have obtained part of the answer through RTFMing and
Experimentation.
Apparently gcc -E doesn't work unless I also use -x assembly-with-cpp
or equally -x c++.  
My initial syntax errors were caused by the line directives output by
the preprocessor.  Gcc chokes itself.  If I disable those using -Wp,-P 
then I at least get syntax errors relating to our assembly code, though
the line numbers only make sense if use a two stage process and investigate
the intermediate file.  
Another thing it seems to dislike is the use of 0x to signify hexadecimal in
constants.  I was all set to change to the alternate notation of an H at the
end when the manual (www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/binutils/as_36.html) 
told me this was legal.  What else am I missing? :-)

Typo.. Use "-x assembler-with-cpp" switch.

Windows file system is case sensitive. You can have .S extension. May be you will have to use explorer to rename .s file to .S
> Is there a way to force gcc to preprocess assembly using a switch.

Yes. Use "-x assembler-with-cop" switch.

Hi,
    I am using gcc to cross compile for m68k.  I discovered the following on

the net.
 
"Both .S and .s are assembler. By convention, .S is assembly source that
needs to be preprocessed. Otherwise, gcc doesn't care."
 
This is of course less than optimal on windows as the filesystem is not case
sensitive.  The work around is of course to invoke gcc -E 'manually'.
Is there a way to force gcc to preprocess assembly using a switch.
e.g. --preprocess-assembly?   
    
Regards,
                Bruce A.
