(Configuration): Add entries on compiler/preprocessor mismatch, and on preprocessor inserting whitespace.

shared version of libjpeg, which you need to install.  Finally, rerun
the Emacs configure script, which should now find the jpeg library.
Alternatively, modify the generated src/Makefile to link the .a file
explicitly, and edit src/config.h to define HAVE_JPEG.

*** `configure' warns ``accepted by the compiler, rejected by the preprocessor''.

This indicates a mismatch between the C compiler and preprocessor that
configure is using.  For example, on Solaris 10 trying to use
CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc (the Sun Studio compiler) together with
CPP=/usr/ccs/lib/cpp can result in errors of this form (you may also
see the error ``"/usr/include/sys/isa_defs.h", line 500: undefined control'').

The solution is to tell configure to use the correct C preprocessor
for your C compiler (CPP="/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -E" in the above
example).

*** `configure' fails with ``"junk.c", line 660: invalid input token: 8.elc''

The final stage of the Emacs configure process uses the C preprocessor
to generate the Makefiles.  Errors of this form can occur if the C
preprocessor inserts extra whitespace into its output.  The solution
is to find the switches that stop your preprocessor from inserting extra
whitespace, add them to CPPFLAGS, and re-run configure.  For example,
this error can occur on Solaris 10 when using the Sun Studio compiler
``Sun C 5.8'' with its preprocessor CPP="/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -E".
The relevant switch in this case is "-Xs" (``compile assuming
(pre-ANSI) K & R C style code'').
