Well, cpp is part of gcc, right? I just did a apt-get dist-upgrade a couple 
of weeks ago. I should be using the current debian/testing. Just to be sure, 
I did an 'apt-get install  cpp'. That upgraded my cpp to 4.1.2

# cpp --version
cpp (GCC) 4.1.2 20060901 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-13)

But the configure script still gives me the exact same error.
