I tried to port Bison once and was frustrated by the limitations of
the Microware C preprocessor. There are macros which literally take
a page or two of text. The CPP died. I was able to overcome these
'problems' by using a version of DECUS C's cpp to get something the
Microware's compiler would accept.

I haven't tried the 2.4 compiler stuff yet to see if the cpp is
improved.

This 'warning' applies only folks who are trying to get GNU programs
up without the GCC stuff.
