_h2ph_pre.ph / $Config{cppsymbols} omits gcc-3.4+ cpp "predefined macros"

This is a bug report for perl from jvdias at redhat.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
The gcc cpp "predefined macros" have no definitions in _h2ph_pre.ph,
causing many includes of .ph files to fail, eg. :
<pre>
$ perl -e 'require "sys/socket.ph";'
Undefined subroutine &main::__LONG_MAX__ called at (eval 259) line 1.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/sys/socket.ph line 11.
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1
</pre>
__LONG_MAX__, and __INT_MAX__, and many other '#define's, have NO
definition in ANY header file with gcc-3.4+, but are built-in to
cpp, as described in the gcc.info documention on the cpp option '-dM':
<pre>
`-dCHARS' ...
`M'
Instead of the normal output, generate a list of `#define'
directives for all the macros defined during the execution of
the preprocessor, including predefined macros. This gives
you a way of finding out what is predefined in your version
of the preprocessor. Assuming you have no file `foo.h', the
command
touch foo.h; cpp -dM foo.h
will show all the predefined macros.
</pre>
With gcc-4+ on i386 Fedora Core, many '#define's are "predefined" in cpp:
<pre>
$ >foo.h; cpp -dM foo.h | egrep '_MAX__|__VERSION|long '
#define __WCHAR_MAX__ 2147483647
#define __SHRT_MAX__ 32767
#define __LDBL_MAX__ 1.18973149535723176502e+4932L
#define __UINTMAX_TYPE__ long long unsigned int
#define __SCHAR_MAX__ 127
#define __DBL_MAX__ 1.7976931348623157e+308
#define __LONG_LONG_MAX__ 9223372036854775807LL
#define __VERSION__ "4.1.0 20060128 (Red Hat 4.1.0-0.17)"
#define __LONG_MAX__ 2147483647L
#define __WCHAR_TYPE__ long int
#define __INT_MAX__ 2147483647
#define __INTMAX_MAX__ 9223372036854775807LL
#define __FLT_MAX__ 3.40282347e+38F
#define __INTMAX_TYPE__ long long int
</pre>
Also, many of these '#define's will cause the current version of
h2ph to emit bad definitions - ie
__VERSION__="4.1.0\ 20060128\ (Red\ Hat\ 4.1.0-0.17)"
would have become:
<pre>
unless (defined &__VERSION__) { sub __VERSION__() { "\"4\.1\.0\\" } }
</pre>
because h2ph split the $Config{cppsymbols} on /\s/ only.
Also floating point defintions were mangled into strings by h2ph:
<pre>
unless (defined &__LDBL_MAX__) { sub __LDBL_MAX__() { "1\.18973149535723176502e\+4932L" }
</pre>
This problem was originally reported as Red Hat bugzilla #178343:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178343
and is present in all current perl versions - 5.8.7, 5.8.8-RC1, and 5.9.3+ (bleadperl).
So here's a patch against the 5.8.8-RC1 source to merge in the cpp internal
"predefined macro" definitions into Cppsym.true in Configure, so they appear in
$Config{cppsymbols}, and to fix h2ph's _extract_cc_defines() and
build_preamble_if_necessary() subs to deal with escaped whitespace symbol values,
floating point constants, signed numeric constants, and parethensized values properly:

Please consider fixing this issue in the upcoming 5.8.8 / 5.9.3 releases,
as many header files are made unusable by this problem .
