Summary:                    zconfig.h:91:41: error: missing binary operator
before token "(" when entering xpp/
Description: 
This error seems to be generated even when there's no real module
building:

An example build:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/build
SUBDIRS=/home/tzafrir/Proj/Asterisk/DigiumRW/zaptel/branches/1.4/kernel
HOTPLUG_FIRMWARE=yes KBUILD_OBJ_M="pciradio.o tor2.o torisa.o wcfxo.o
wct1xxp.o wctdm.o wcte11xp.o wcusb.o zaptel.o ztd-eth.o ztd-loc.o ztdummy.o
ztdynamic.o zttranscode.o wct4xxp/ wctc4xxp/ wctdm24xxp/ xpp/" modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-1-amd64'
/home/tzafrir/Proj/Asterisk/DigiumRW/zaptel/branches/1.4/kernel/zconfig.h:91:41:
error: missing binary operator before token "("
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 17 modules

The error message always appears right after getting into the xpp
subdirectory. Here's a more verbose log snippet:

ake -f scripts/Makefile.build
obj=/home/tzafrir/Proj/Asterisk/DigiumRW/zaptel/branches/1.4/kernel/xpp
/home/tzafrir/Proj/Asterisk/DigiumRW/zaptel/branches/1.4/kernel/zconfig.h:91:41:
error: missing binary operator before token "("
echo '#define   XPP_VERSION     "trunk-r5566"' >
/home/tzafrir/Proj/Asterisk/DigiumRW/zaptel/branches/1.4/kernel/xpp/xpp_version.h.tmp
if cmp -s
/home/tzafrir/Proj/Asterisk/DigiumRW/zaptel/branches/1.4/kernel/xpp/xpp_version.h.tmp
/home/tzafrir/Proj/Asterisk/DigiumRW/zaptel/branches/1.4/kernel/xpp/xpp_version.h
; then echo; else \
                mv
/home/tzafrir/Proj/Asterisk/DigiumRW/zaptel/branches/1.4/kernel/xpp/xpp_version.h.tmp
/home/tzafrir/Proj/Asterisk/DigiumRW/zaptel/branches/1.4/kernel/xpp/xpp_version.h
; \
        fi

It does not fail the build thus it may be one of the test builds to check
dependencies?

A test for a specific #define in zconfig.h was done by invoking cpp .
Sadly the change of CFLAGS handling in kernel 2.6.24 meant that it is no
longer as easy to invoke cpp on our own. 

Impact: On kernel >= 2.6.24, xpd_bri never got built, even if the
bri_dchan patch was applied.

Fix: use a simpler grep instead. Hopefully noone passes it through other
means. This should hopfully fix issue http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=12426 .
