This is perhaps an unusual example, and I'm not sure it would actually
happen, but:

struct {
  int i;
#ifdef SOME_BIZARRE_COMPILER_I_DONT_HAVE_BUT_YOU_DO
  int j;
#endif
} foo;

Also, I tried 'gcc -fdump-spec /usr/include/tcl.h' and got the
following out:

i386_utypes_h.ads
stdarg_h.ads
stdio_h.ads
sys_utypes_h.ads
tcl_h.ads
tcldecls_h.ads
tclplatdecls_h.ads
utypes_h.ads

and stdio_h.ads contains eg
   subtype size_t is i386_utypes_h.uu_darwin_size_t;

so I could hardly hope that would work with Aonix on Windows!
