Thanks for the report!  The current tarball has some improvements in
various areas, including those you reported.  Could you try it?  It's
available as:

        http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/download/bison-1.75b.tar.gz

Some of the errors you reported are very weird, but probably all related
to the empty struct that we once generated.

Also, the tarball above has one failing test: 42.  This is known.

Thanks!
