	PR documentation/19309
	* doc/cpp.texi: The __GNUC__ and related predefined macros
	are also defined for the "standalone" cpp.
	Some non-GCC compilers may also define __GNUC__.

 preprocessor: C, C++, and Objective-C@.  Their values are the major
 version, minor version, and patch level of the compiler, as integer
 constants.  For example, GCC 3.2.1 will define @code{__GNUC__} to 3,
-@code{__GNUC_MINOR__} to 2, and @code{__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__} to 1.  They

 @code{__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__} is new to GCC 3.0; it is also present in the
 widely-used development snapshots leading up to 3.0 (which identify
 themselves as GCC 2.96 or 2.97, depending on which snapshot you have).
 
 If all you need to know is whether or not your program is being compiled

 which depends on a specific version, you must be more careful.  Each
 time the minor version is increased, the patch level is reset to zero;
 each time the major version is increased (which happens rarely), the
