In the documentation file optionially[sp?] set up called \source\doc\readme.doc
you'll fin a message concerning this very problem.  The gist of it is :

use the C1L.exe first pass for the compiler.  Do so by using the /B1 switch
like so :

CL /B1 <path/\C1L.EXE <sourcefile>.c

This should take care of your problems.
