[Freeciv-Dev] Quick #error question

[Justin Moore <justin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Quick question,
   In intl/gettext.h, line 64 why isn't #error used?

---61,67---
#  if ULONG_MAX == UINT_MAX_32_BITS
typedef unsigned long nls_uint32;
#  else
  /* The following line is intended to throw an error.  Using #error is
     not portable enough.  */
  "Cannot determine unsigned 32-bit data type."
#  endif
---

   But it's used in these other files:lines,
./common/fcintl.h:18
./common/speclist.h:60
./common/speclist_c.h:28
./common/version.h:18

   Out of curiousity, I was running freeciv through lclint and the
preprocessor kept barfing in gettext.h.
