My apologies if this is not the place to ask this, but there is no
gnu.utils.help newsgroup here.  I am having a problem using the parser
generated by bison.  I am running it on an SGI 4D/310 using IRIX 3.3.2,
a SysV thingy.  I followed (to the best of my knowledge) the instructions
for making bison, using an alloca.o from my emacs installation.  However
when I try to use the parser output from bison, I get errors.

If I try to link the final executable without also linking alloca.o
(note that this is the executable for _my_ code, not the bison 
executable) I get an error that alloca is undefined.  If I link in
alloca.o, I get an error xmalloc undefined.  Now, I found xmalloc
in the source to bison, and indeed it is called in the parser.  Why
is such a call generated in the parser?  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
