Actually, the assembler (aic7xxx_seq.c) searches the for the following:

static const char *cpp[] = {
"/lib/cpp -P - -",
"/usr/lib/cpp -P - -",
"/usr/bin/cpp -P - -",
"/usr/bin/gcc -E -P -",
"/usr/bin/cc -E -P -"
};

I just said /usr/bin/cpp because that's what FreeBSD uses in its version of the
assembler. I was using FreeBSD at the time I replied, didn't have access to
the Linux source, and couldn't remember all the paths searched. I knew that
/usr/bin/cpp would work...
