I think the code in question is:
#ifndef __GI_SCANNER__
# define __GI_SCANNER__
#endif
#include </opt/build/gobject-introspection-0.10.8/tests/gimarshallingtests.h>

But, gcc-4.4.6 accepts this on AIX:
  /opt/TWWfsw/gcc44/bin/gcc -E -C -I. - -I.. -I/opt/TWWfsw/libglib226/include/gcc44/gio-unix -I/opt/TWWfsw/libglib226/include/gcc44 -I/opt/TWWfsw/libglib226/lib/gcc44/include -I/opt/TWWfsw/gettext018/include

Is g-ir-scanner doing some parsing on the result of the above on the
input above? Still looking at the code.
