Dear Sergei,

This is a bit harsh.  WRT the ; issue, AFAIR POSIX requires that the  
user provides a complete command.  So GCC's treelang should be fixed.   
I am trying to build it so that I can send them the patch. Bison 2.4.1  
will make special adjustments so that Treelang 4.3.2 builds properly,  
but hopefully when Bison 2.5 is out, the GCC team will have make  
releases with a fixed grammar and the workaround will no longer be  
needed.
