[ale] help a decrepit c programmer

[Michael Potter]

Tim,

Can you put it into context?

Try adding the -E option on gcc to see what the expanded line looks like.
-E just runs the preprocessor and then stops without compiling the source.
You also might find a function defined with the name "_".

Let us know what you find.
