If you have GNU awk, gawk, make sure it's first in $PATH and
re-configure/rebuild.

2.4.1a testsuite failures on Solaris 2.7

A few of the tests fail on Solaris 2.7 because libbison.a is not linked
in:
118. calc.at:568: testing ...
./calc.at:568: bison -o calc.c calc.y
./calc.at:568: $CC $CFLAGS $CPPFLAGS $LDFLAGS -o calc calc.c $LIBS
stderr:
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
rpl_fopen                           calc.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to calc
stdout:
./calc.at:568: exit code was 1, expected 0
118. calc.at:568: 118. Calculator  (calc.at:568): FAILED (calc.at:568)

How do I modify the testsuite to link in ../lib/libbison.a?

Thanks for the report.  In tests/atlocal, please try adding

  $abs_top_builddir/lib/libbison.a

to the value of LIBS.

Test 52 failure on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris

Test 52 fails on AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris:
52. output.at:159: testing ...
./output.at:159: VALGRIND_OPTS="$VALGRIND_OPTS --leak-check=summary --show-reachable=no";
export VALGRIND_OPTS; bison -o foo.y foo.y

52. output.at:159: 52. Conflicting output files:  -o foo.y (output.at:159): FAILED (output.at:159)

We're seeing the same failure on AIX and HP-UX.

Thanks for confirming.

I pushed the following to branch-2.4.2.  A previous patch already handled 
this on branch-2.5 and master where the problem affected more platforms.

Subject: [PATCH] tests: link lib/libbison.a for gnulib.

This solves a problem on Solaris 2.7 where the testsuite needs
at least gnulib's rpl_fopen.  Reported by Albert Chin at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2010-02/msg00001.html>.
* NEWS (2.4.2): Document.
* tests/atlocal.in (LIBS): As for LDADD in src/Makefile.am, add
lib/libbison.a.

I'm pretty sure this means your m4 is broken.  Please confirm that you're 
running at least GNU M4 1.4.6.

We're running 1.4.12.

You're saying that /opt/TWWfsw/m414/bin/gm4, which is mentioned in the 
error message, is GNU M4 1.4.12?

I should point out that M4 in your environment would cause Bison to use a 
different m4 than the one discovered by configure.
