Description:

Bison 2.5 is broken. In order to use bison, I had to downgrade to bison 2.4.

When trying to compile a file generated by bison 2.5, it will fail because it can't find rpl_printf; it seems like gnulib should be a dependency of bison 2.5 but it is only in the AUR. I wasn't able to compile the generated file even with gnulib, but I might have been missing some compiler flags.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
Generate a file with bison 2.5. Compile it, and watch it fail.
I can't currently reproduce this since I have bison 2.4.3 installed.

Current workaround:
Install bison 2.4.3 from the ARM: http://arm.konnichi.com/2011/06/03/core/os/x86_64/bison-2.4.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
This task depends upon

Please give exact details on how to replicate your issue. I have not seen any other reports of issues using bison-2.5.
