Yikes, your preprocessor output is removing const.  Hmmm.


There is a line in include/config.h which says:

    /* Define const as empty if your compiler doesn't grok const. */
    /* #undef const */

Now, this is set by configure if it determines your compiler can't
handle const.  Please check that, and can you run configure with a 'set
-x' at the top to figure out why it thinks you can't handle const,
because I assume you can.  I also don't understand why const is being
removed from the definition, but not the include file.

Now, at least it makes some sense.
