Thanks for the report.  To fix that, I pushed this to branch-2.4.2, 
branch-2.5, and master.

I wrote bug-gnulib:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-10/msg00108.html

Based on that discussion, I'm thinking of pushing the following.  I'm 
hesitating for a few reasons:

1. I'm not sure why bootstrap.conf was careful to exclude 
m4/printf-posix.m4.  Maybe to avoid bloat?

2. -DGNULIB_POSIXCHECK suggests realloc-posix for the sake of 
vasnprintf.c, so it seems realloc-posix ought to be a dependency of 
vasnprintf-posix.  I'll explore further later and maybe take it to the 
gnulib maintainers.

3. -DGNULIB_POSIXCHECK is suggesting a lot of other modules.  We need to 
explore those at some point.

Hello, to make documentation?

Hi, I am Javier
Is there any free software to make documentation from Bison (and/or 
Flex) source files ?
Could you put links to that?
Thank you,
I must congratulate you for this Big program.
