For cpp statements like :

  #if defined A || defined B

h2ph would generate the code :

  if(defined (defined(&A) ? &A : 0) || defined (defined(&B) ? &B : 0)) {

which is tautologous, as defined(0) is always true .

This turns out to cause real problems on the Linux ppc64 platform,
where "endian-ness" is selectable in the compiler; every inclusion
of "endian.ph", which includes "bits/endian.ph", generates an error​:

$ perl -e 'require "sys/socket.ph";'
Both BIG_ENDIAN and LITTLE_ENDIAN defined! at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ppc-linux-thread-multi/bits/endian.ph line 10.
Compilation failed in require at...

Because h2ph generated this code in ../bits/endian.ph​:
if(defined (defined(&__BIG_ENDIAN__) ? &__BIG_ENDIAN__ : 0) || defined (defined(&_BIG_ENDIAN) ? &_BIG_ENDIAN : 0)) {
  if(defined (defined(&__LITTLE_ENDIAN__) ? &__LITTLE_ENDIAN__ : 0) || defined (defined(&_LITTLE_ENDIAN) ? &_LITTLE_ENDIAN : 0)) {
  die("Both\ BIG_ENDIAN\ and\ LITTLE_ENDIAN\ defined\!");
  }
For the cpp code in /usr/include/bits/endian.h​:
#if defined __BIG_ENDIAN__ || defined _BIG_ENDIAN
# if defined __LITTLE_ENDIAN__ || defined _LITTLE_ENDIAN
# error Both BIG_ENDIAN and LITTLE_ENDIAN defined!
...

The problem does not happen if the 'defined..' conditions are in parentheses -
ie.
  #if defined(A) || defined(B)
produces correct code​:
  if( defined(&A) || defined(&B) )

A trivial fix for this is to simply replace the '​: 0' with '​: undef' in
