Make Problem - `DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT' not integer constant

Hello,

I am running an SGI Indigo2 platform, O/S IRIX version 6.5.22f and 
installing some GNU programs requiring an updating of ancillary files. 
One of which is the Bison suite for PostgresSQL integration.

The system is currently running "m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.10"
and GNU Bison version 1.25 installation attempt of bison-2.3
stack limit is reset to 100MB

The configuration (./configure) seemed to run fine to completion

make
ran until terminating

=>
     ---

    ---
            then mv -f ".deps/hash.Tpo" ".deps/hash.Po"; else rm -f
    ".deps/hash.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
            if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..    -I/usr/local/include 
    -g -O2 -MT obstack.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/obstack.Tpo" -c -o obstack.o
    obstack.c; \
            then mv -f ".deps/obstack.Tpo" ".deps/obstack.Po"; else rm
    -f ".deps/obstack.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
    obstack.c:83: error: enumerator value for `DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT' not
    integer constant
    *** Error code 1 (bu21)

Thanks for doing that.  I committed it and the following.

What about something like the following?

  #!/bin/sh
  # If you have trouble using this script, please see README-hacking.
  if test "${GNULIB_SRCDIR+set}" != set ; then
    GNULIB_SRCDIR=`sed -n 's/gnulib_dir = //p' < cfg.mk`
  fi
  if test -d "$GNULIB_SRCDIR"; then
    rm -f bootstrap.m4sh

Bison test version 2.3b available

Bison test version 2.3b is now available.  This version contains many bug 
fixes and many exciting new features that need more user feedback.  Some 
of the more notable features are:

  1. XML or Graphviz DOT format for the LALR(1) automaton.
  2. Push parsers.
  3. Java-based parsers.
  4. %code, a flexible alternative to traditional Yacc prologue blocks.
  5. Default %destructor and %printer directives.

See "Bison News" below for further details.

Here is the URL where you can download Bison 2.3b:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.3b.tar.gz

Here are the MD5 and SHA512 checksums:

following shell commands or their equivalents:

bison-2.3b test successful on NetBSD/amd64

Hi!

Regarding your call for testers in gnu.announce, I just wanted to let
you know that bison-2.3b completed its self-tests successfully on
NetBSD-4.99.63/amd64.

I don't know if this qualifies as an unusual host or not...

Cheers,
 Thomas

Thanks for the report, Thomas.

It's at least not a platform I test on.
