Re: compiling bison-3.0 on AIX 5.3

[Michael Felt]

I have spent the last two days 'experimenting'. I am sort of stuck because
I cannot get flex to compile, and the tests seem to need that. Make
(version 3.0.17.*cd) is completing, but the make check fails and stops
almost immediately (just as the 3.0.0 version did).

I am waiting for some suggestions from the flex (
https://sourceforge.net/p/flex/bugs/157/) people, and/or instructions from
"bison" on how to run at least some of the tests without flex.
