<pre>
    This was found while trying to build GIMP 3 with Clang, using Meson as the build generator. The example below is an attempt to simplify a reproducible error.

The following rc file:
```
#define _QUOTE(x) #x
#define QUOTE(x) _QUOTE(x)

#define VER_INTERNALNAME_STR        QUOTE(INTERNALNAME_STR)

STRINGTABLE
{
    1,   VER_INTERNALNAME_STR
} 
```
Compiles correctly with `windres "--define" "INTERNALNAME_STR=\"goat-exercise\"" error.rc error.o`  when using Mingw64's windres, but fails with LLVM's:
```
$ windres "--define" "INTERNALNAME_STR=\"goat-exercise\"" error.rc error.o
llvm-rc: Error parsing file: expected '-', '~', integer or '(', got goat-exercise\
```

This is an example from the real build:
```
