Ah! This brings back some memories- not all fortran compilers run the
sources through the C preprocessor, so, I guess, the preprocessing has
to stay a separate stage in the Makefile.

The question remains as to why the new preprocessor is mangling
the source. We can use the old cpp for now, but ultimately we would
want to use the new integrated cpp...
