OK, although it won't be needed with v2 of the stringify with commas.
There seems to be some important details which differ between
-traditional and stdc gcc operation which makes it non-trivial to remove
the -traditional, at least on sparc. Maybe Kyle could tell us a bit more
about the nature of these limitations ?

I would wait a bit before merging until we at least identify what those
limitations are.
