Ah.  Apparently I misunderstood you.  I thought you said SunOS 4.1.4
had strtoul but lacked strtol.  But it appears that the reverse is
true, and that it has strtol but it does not have strtoul.  Is that
correct?

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.


Could you please try this test snapshot?

http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~eggert/bison/bison-2.1a_sunos4.1.4test.tar.gz

It addresses the issues you raised, but I can't test whether my fixes
suffice for SunOS 4.1.4.  Please make sure you have a working version
of GNU m4 1.4.3 in your PATH, and then unpack the above-mentioned
distribution and type these commands:

cd bison-2.1a
./configure
make
make check

and email the output to <address@hidden>.  The sooner the better,
since we want to generate a new release soon.  Thanks.

For the record, here are the changes embodied in this test snapshot.
I haven't checked them in.
