It's late, but it seems that I discovered a cc bug. One of my source
files contained a line as follows:
# if defined(OSK) || defined(BSD)
# define DIRENT struct direct
# else
# define DIRENT struct dirent
# endif
But surprisingly this did NOT compile right. If I replace defined(BSD)
with defined(NeXT), everything works OK. Is this a CC / CPP bug or
simply an error in the NeXT documentation ?

Very unlikely.

Well, it would indicate to me, with about, oh, less than a second's worth of
thought, that BSD is not defined by the system compiler. If the
documentation says it is, and it isn't, then that is an error in the
documentation. If you do a 'cc -v <whatever>', and there is a '-DBSD'
somewhere on the line shown for cpp, then, and only then, would I say that
it is a compiler (actually preprocessor) bug.

If the documentation say it is defined AND the system looks like bsd the compiler should have the BSD Symbol defined. If it's undefined IT IS A BUG.
