GCC 2.2.2 does not warn about C expressions like `1<=i<=N', which have
a different meaning than in traditional mathematics.  Here is a patch.

Fri Aug  7 22:34:20 1992  Paul Eggert  (eggert@twinsun.com)

	* c-typeck.c (parser_build_binary_op): Warn about expressions like
	`1<=i<=N'.
	* invoke.texi: Document warning.

+ A comparison like @samp{x<=y<=z} appears; this is equivalent to

  A storage-class specifier like @code{static} appears other than
