Let's call the indirection _CONCAT without the "1".

Ditto. BUILD_BUG_INTERNAL2 should be __BUILD_BUG_INTERNAL and the one
calling it _BUILD_BUG_INTERNAL (with one underscore).

Btw, why are we adding the line at all? It is issued by gcc anyway:

cc -Wall    macros.c   -o macros
macros.c: In function ‘main’:
macros.c:22:1: error: ‘__build_bug_on_failed_22’ undeclared (first use in this function)
	^^^^

It is in front of the filename here.

macros.c:22:1: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make: *** [macros] Error 1

Thanks.
