Rechecked with 4.1.2. Bug submitter writes:
As shown below, the __linux macro is no longer defined when using
the C99 mode on a PowerPC machine. An x86 machine does not have
this behavior. This is normal for the linux macro to be no longer
defined (as it is not reserved), but I do not see why it should
be the case for the __linux macro. So, IMHO, the PPC should do
the same as x86.
powerpc:
$ gcc -dM -E -xc /dev/null | grep linux
#define __linux 1
#define __linux__ 1
#define __gnu_linux__ 1
#define linux 1
$ gcc -std=c99 -dM -E -xc /dev/null | grep linux
#define __linux__ 1
#define __gnu_linux__ 1
x86:
$ gcc -dM -E -xc /dev/null | grep linux
#define __linux 1
#define __linux__ 1
#define __gnu_linux__ 1
#define linux 1
$ gcc -std=c99 -dM -E -xc /dev/null | grep linux
#define __linux 1
#define __linux__ 1
#define __gnu_linux__ 1
