One thing I found while trying to build emacs was that the pragma has
to be asserted before any "real" C code is seen by the compiler.
Unfortunately, emacs includes <signal.h> first in some files, so it
can give the "config.h" a chance to fix things up, so I can't put the
pragma in "config.h".

Is there any way of declaring the pragma from the command line?
