Subject: Configure and IRIX questions

In investigating Dan Pilone's reported problem with configure
autotragically attempting to make input-method-xlib.c, as well as my own
problem with the native sound detection stuff I have a question:
is the preprocessor directive '#elif' part of a recognized standard? The
cpp for IRIX6.2 seems to lose badly when encountering this, and it is
NOT listed in the man pages as a recognized preprocessor directive.
However, it doesn't generate an error either. I should probably
elaborate that my development system currently only has SGI's
development environment on it.

If it is not a standard, shouldn't we eliminate dependance on it? Do any
other systems have a similar problem?
