There is a problem in the config files for krb5p1.
In src/util/profile/configure, around line 1199, the code has
a comment in it that gets catted to a C program which doesn't use # for
comments or recognizes #line as a valid preprocessor command.
I'm not sure I understand your bug report. What platform and C compiler
were you using for which this was a problem? For the vast majority of
the platforms that I'm familiar with, #line isn't a problem.
Also, the configure script uses "#line" in literally hundreds of
places all over the Kerberos V5 tree, not just in the line which you
reported. Was this change sufficient to make the tree work for you?
And if so, do you have any insight why #line wasn't causing you
problems elsewhere? (Search for #line in any configure script and
you'll see it all over the place.)
