Perhaps it's time to audit distros, looking for C code that came out of specialized preprocessors that are not included and that winds up linked with GPL code.

Of course that wouldn't have spotted this problem, which is elisp code which came out of a specialized preprocessor and was not linked with anything, but *is* itself licensed under the GPL.
