Arghh. Fergus wrote in one of his replies to you that -E can be used
either in a straigthforward way, as an option to "mmc", or, if you are
using Mmakefiles, in the appropriate EXTRA_MCFLAGS, or MCFLAGS variable. 
But -E is _not_ a mmake option. 

Please consult the mmake-reference to how to pass this compiler option
through mmake, or if your ceil_floor is simply a one-file project, use
	mmc -E ceil_floor
instead

You could have deduced this on your own: 

> make: invalid option -- E

as mmake issued the error that -E is an unknown option for it. 

Ciao,
