thx, now I see! :-)

Otoh, does that mean one could have rewritten that to something like

  ##if defined(RLIM_SAVED_MAX) && (#{const RLIM_SAVED_MAX} != #{const RLIM_INFINITY})
  unpackRLimit (#const RLIM_SAVED_MAX) = ResourceLimitUnknown
  ##endif

instead and exploit the fact that CPP can be run a second time when
compiling the resulting .hs file, which would then take care of the
#ifdef with the '#const' terms already evaluated?

Cheers,
