From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: Bison 1.875 (upstream) has an incompatibility with gcc 3.3.1 (using Cambridge/Fedora Core). http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2003-01/msg00047.html http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2003-01/msg00083.html The fix is supposed to be in the next version of Bison, but no greater than 1.875 has been released yet. The problem is the __attribute__ (__unusued__) right before the goto yerrlab2 statement. Mandrake also supplies a patch which applies cleanly and works just fine against Red Hat bison-1.875-3: http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/bison/ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bison-1.875-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get Fedora with Bison 1.875-3 and gcc 3.3.1 2. Try to compile something that uses yacc 3. For example, try to build OpenOffice.org 1.1, and build dies in idlc, compiling parser.cxx Additional info:
bison-1.875-5 includes that upstream patch
where are we supposed to get bison-1.875-5? It's not on Rawhide (sep 27, 11:04:32 CEST)
