If that just moved the error further on, what happens with the build if
a: you edit config.h to remove these lines:
#if 42 == 1
#define CAT2(a,b) a/**/b
#define STRINGIFY(a) "a"
/* If you can get stringification with catify, tell me how! */
#endif
b: you replace those lines, and add a #error directive inside them
