lint uses the C preprocessor in much the same way that the C compiler does
except that it retains comments, so it is the preprocessed output that is
checked.

you could examine the make output for the lint command, and re-issue it
with a -V flag, then run the cpp command and capture the output, which
will show exactly what it was seeing..
