It looks like the problem is that it sees the .F90 and wants to "do the
right thing" for fortran sources, which is "invoke gcc".  I got a clue
by adding '-###' (quotes required) to see what cpp was trying to do
internally.

You might get the effect you want by either adding something like -x
assembler-with-cpp, or maybe by hiding the filetype from cpp:

 cat boxmuller.F90 | cpp -traditional-cpp
