I am trying to build the latest version of `bison' from
yahi.stanford.edu (as of Fri Apr 28 09:00 PDT 1989).

`README' says to report all bugs using the current version as named in
`ChangeLog'.  There is no change log.

The 1.34.2 C++ distribution README says that there is a bug in
`bison'.  The file and line number match, so it may be the same
version number.

`reduce.c' line 543 uses the global variable `fixed_outfiles'.  The
file `reduce.c' does not contain an external declaration of
`fixed_outfiles', so gcc refuses to compile `reduce.c'.  Creating an
extern declaration of `fixed_outfiles' in `reduce.c' seems to solve
the problem.

Several months ago I submitted patches so that `bison' would print its
own version number.  No such facility exists in the version that I
have.  I consider this to be a bug.
