Re: Bison "make check" patches for POSIXLY_CORRECT

[Akim Demaille]

| I installed the following patches to fix test failures encountered

| POSIXLY_CORRECT-safe invocations.

| 
|       * tests/action.at, tests/calc.at, tests/conflicts.at,
|       tests/cxx-type.at, tests/headers.at, tests/input.at,
|       tests/regression.at, tests/synclines.at, tests/torture.at:
|       Say "bison -o foo.c foo.y", not "bison foo.y -o foo.c",
|       so that the tests still work even if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
|       * doc/bison.texinfo (Rpcalc Compile, Invocation): Likewise.

Good idea :)

When I have the net, I'll install this as part of the
maintainer-checks.

Could you also tell me what was wrong with make alpha?
