[GNU Bison 2.1] testsuite: 83 failed

[Michael McLaughlin]

Hello,

I am a Mac (OS 10.4.8) developer but I have, to date, used only 
CodeWarrior and I am totally a novice wrt UNIX configure, make, etc. 
Nevertheless, I downloaded the Bison 2.1 source and ran

configure
make check

The output suggested that I send this log to you.

Next, I am instructed to do

make install

but I am a bit worried about this error although it does not look very 
critical.  Should I stick to using the supplied Bison 1.28 package?  The 
latter is quite old but might be good enough.

Thanks.
