Hmm ... this is a documentation oversight ... on IRIX systems, you
cannot relink the kernel without cpp so _every_ IRIX system has a cpp
variant lurking somewhere. This is not necessarily true for other OS
variants.
The PCP performance metrics name space (PMNS) may use #define and
#include directives ... as a work around, check your /var/pcp/pmns/root
and remove directives by equivalent hand editing, and then make one of
the cpp paths below a link to "cat".
But you'll next run into problems with installing the PMDAs, because
their local fragments of the PMNS also use cpp directives.
So you will need to install cpp eventually.
I'll try and figure out the right place to document this.
