Comment (by rwbarton):

 Can you put this in a file `A.hs`:

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE CPP #-}

 module A where

 #define MESSAGE "Hello, world"

 f :: Bool -> String
 f False = MESSAGE

 main = print (f False)
 }}}

 and run `ghc A -Wall -keep-tmp-files`?

 - Do you get a warning about `A.hs` or some temporary `ghcXXXX_YY.hscpp`
 file? (On Linux using gcc's C preprocessor, the warning is correctly about
 `A.hs`.)

 - In the latter case, could you attach that temporary file here?
