-It was once true that, when installing Bison on Sequent (or Pyramid?)
-systems, you had to be in the Berkeley universe.  This may no longer
-be true; we have no way to tell.
+Older versions of Sun Forte Developer 6 update 2 have a compiler bug
+that cause "make check" to fail with a "Encounter BINCL entry"
+diagnostic.  To fix the bug, update to the latest set of Solaris and
+Forte patches recommended by Sun.

 
 

-On VMS, you will probably have to create Makefile from Makefile.in by
-hand.  Remember to do `SET COMMAND BISON' to install the data in
-`BISON.CLD'.
+VMS and MS-DOS builds are probably broken right now.  If you are able
+to build Bison on either platform and you need to make changes to do
+so, please submit those changes as a bug report.  On VMS, you will
+probably have to create Makefile from Makefile.in by hand.  Remember
+to do `SET COMMAND BISON' to install the data in `BISON.CLD'.

 
 

-Send bug reports to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.  Please include the
-version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained
-test case in each bug report.
