On ISC Unix at least, the kernel config subset which comes with the base
system contains /lib/idcpp, which is the C preprocessor that the kernel
builder uses and is as far as I can tell the same as /bin/cpp.

Unless your version of Unix builds its kernel very differently from the way
that AT&T does I'd expect to find it on other versions as well.
