You could try to add the -traditional-cpp (or was it _cpp) flag, this way
those macros will get expanded properly. Note however that this may cause
cpp to barf on some other constructs - I tried this a while ago in an (as
yet unsuccesfull) attempt to port a TECO-clone to Linux, but cpp then broke
on something else in curses.h, so I ended up changing those CTL(x)'s by hand
just like you did anyway (using qedit under ms-dos I am ashamed to add ;-)).
