Bison has a Yacc compatibility mode which is supposed to be POSIX
compliant, but that is all. Things that go beyond POSIX are extras.
That is the theory. I reality, you will probably find that Bison is
developed on and for UNIX systems that are thought to be POSIX compliant.
So there might be problems when expecting strict POSIX compliance.

I suspect you will have to provide more descriptions for others to be able
to help. Perhaps Bug Bison is the right list.
