Possible solution

WRC does not join parts of a string together.

For instance:

STRINGTABLE
BEGIN
  1001, "hello,"
        "world"
END

When compiling it, WRC gives `Error: syntax error'. (Windres accepts it.)

Look, for example, at dlls/shell32/shell32_*.rc, and read a discussion in PR
41748 at GCC Bugzilla, to see why this can be needed.

That's not valid RC syntax, and I fail to see what gcc has to do with this.
What is the actual problem you are trying to fix?

For now, there are no problems. If the --preprocessor option will be
implemented, using gcc in the role of an external preprocessor can cause
errors. I just want to notify in advance about possible future problems.

This syntax is recognized by windres.

Even though windres accepts this, PSDK's rc.exe doesn't. This syntax
is invalid.

Closing invalid.
