Hehe, ugly. How about making it a single string? GCC preprocessor 
documentation suggests the same anyway ...

	Neither `#error' nor `#warning' macro-expands its argument.
	Internal whitespace sequences are each replaced with a single space.
	The line must consist of complete tokens.  It is wisest to make the
	argument of these directives be a single string constant; this avoids
	problems with apostrophes and the like.
