The problem is with compilation of lib/string.h, which we inherit from 
gnulib.  It appears that gnulib already has a fix, and we've already 
updated gnulib for the Bison 2.4.3 release.

Would you please check that the problem is fixed?  Either I can roll a 
test release tarball for you to try, or you can checkout branch-2.4.3 from 
our git repo at git://git.sv.gnu.org/bison.git and then bootstrap.  
Either way, you'd then run the usual ./configure, make, and make check. 
Let me know what is easiest for you.

Thanks.
