xgettext messages when compiling bison git repo

[tys lefering]

compiling bison from git repo (18 nov 2009) on a fresh installed
suse linux 11.2 machine gives no errors or warnings on bison
itself but few silly warnings from running xgettext:
data/glr.c:38: warning: unterminated character constant
data/glr.c:39: warning: unterminated character constant
data/yacc.c:222: warning: unterminated character constant
data/yacc.c:1626: warning: unterminated character constant

in glr.c this is line:
# If glr.cc is including this file and thus has already set b4_pure_flag,
don't

in yacc.c this is line:
b4_copyright([Implementation for Bison's Yacc-like parsers in C])[
b4_copyright([Interface for Bison's Yacc-like parsers in C])dnl

would change the lines in glr.c/yacc.c to avoid the '
to stop the warning messages of xgettext.

and some other notes from xgettext are:
/usr/bin/xgettext: warning: file `src/parse-gram.y' extension `y' is
unknown; will try C
/usr/bin/xgettext: warning: file `src/scan-code.l' extension `l' is
unknown; will try C
/usr/bin/xgettext: warning: file `src/scan-gram.l' extension `l' is
unknown; will try C

xgettext version on suse linux 11.2 is:
xgettext (GNU gettext-tools) 0.17

when running "make maintainer-check" all tests are oke but when the
tests using valgrind are run then all checks are marked as failed.
valgrind is installed on my machine and config.log reports it is
found. the version on suse linux 11.2 is: valgrind-3.5.0

this looks to be not a problem of bison but of the valgrind as
it is installed on suse linux, in tests/testuite.dir/001 is:

#                             -*- compilation -*-
1. input.at:27: testing ...
./input.at:35: VALGRIND_OPTS="$VALGRIND_OPTS --leak-check=summary
--show-reachable=no"; export VALGRIND_OPTS; bison input.y
