[Bug c/42091] New: -imacros option does not work on gcc 4.2.1 scratchbox

[frederic dot chifflet-nonst at stericsson dot com]

I use Scratchbox on an Ubuntu 8.04 OS with ARM target. The gcc version used in
the scratchbox is 4.2.1.

I modified the gcc.specs file, I add -imacros option to cpp. 
Compilation don't even sart, I have a fatal error.

If I add to cpp the compilation switches -DTOTO1 -DTOTO2 instead -imacros, the
compilation is OK.

But I have to use -imacros option, in the near future the project I work on
will have thousands of switches.

Does someone have a clue on this issue ? 

Thank you !

Report this to whoever provided you with that compiler and advised
modifying specs files.  Specs files are not a public interface for
modifying by compiler users, and 4.2 compilers are no longer supported.
If you can reproduce this with an unmodified compiler you built from FSF
GCC sources, 4.4.x or later, then open a new bug here.
