bison-1.875 successes

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

Since I've sent a stream of problem reports about bison-1.875, it
might cheer you all up to get a list of successes (some after 
workarounds documented in my postings):

        IBM PowerPC             AIX 4.2
        Intel Pentium II        FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #0
        SGI Origin 200          IRIX 6.5
        Apple PowerPC G3 267MHz GNU/Linux 2.2.18-4hpmac (Red Hat Linux/PPC 2000 
Q4)
        Sun SPARC               Solaris 2.7, 2.8, 2.9
        Intel Pentium III       GNU/Linux 2.4.9-31smp (Red Hat 7.2 (Enigma))
        Intel Pentium III       GNU/Linux 2.4.18-18.8.0smp (Red Hat 8.0 
(Psyche))
        Sun SPARC               GNU/Linux 2.2.19-6.2.1 (Red Hat 6.2)
        Apple PowerPC G4 267MHz Darwin 6.2 (MacOS 10.2.2)
        Compaq/DEC Alpha        OSF/1 4.0F
        Compaq Alpha Sierra     OSF/1 5.1

Today, I recorded another successful build, with the Intel icc C/C++
compiler version 7.0 on Intel IA-32, installed here this morning: all
104 tests passed.

The one glitch may be an autoconf or automake problem, since I also
got it with gawk with this compiler: every compilation produces
warnings like this:

if icc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DPKGDATADIR=\"/usr/local/share/bison\" 
-DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../lib     -g -MT 
vcg.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/vcg.Tpo" \
  -c -o vcg.o `test -f 'vcg.c' || echo './'`vcg.c; \
then mv ".deps/vcg.Tpo" ".deps/vcg.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/vcg.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi
icc: Command line warning: ignoring option '-M'; no argument required
icc: Command line warning: ignoring option '-M'; no argument required
icc: Command line warning: no action performed for specified object file(s)

There are gcc-specific options being passed to the compiler here, even
though icc has no relation to gcc.  config.cache has this suspicious
line:

am_cv_CC_dependencies_compiler_type=${am_cv_CC_dependencies_compiler_type=gcc3}
