Spent a few hours checking out which prerequisite versions the
current sources actually require. I went all the way back to
Gettext 0.10.40, Automake 1.4, and Autoconf 2.57 and investigated
a seemingly endless set of combinations of versions more recent
than that. The bottom line is that the current sources require
fairly recent versions of the build tools, and it'll be some work
to change this.
* configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Increase from 2.58 to 2.59.
(AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Increase from 1.7 to 1.8.
(AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Increase from 0.11.5 to 0.12.
Add comments explaining why those particular versions are
currently needed.
* src/parse-gram.y (lloc_default): Rewrite to avoid compiler bug
in SGI MIPSpro 7.4.1m. Problem reported by Albert Chin-A-Young in
<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2004-05/msg00037.html>.
