-Older versions of Sun Forte Developer 6 update 2 have a compiler bug

-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'.

+Bison can work with pre-1.4.3 distributions of GNU m4 if they are
+sufficiently patched, but if you encounter a bug with an older
+distribution and report a bug we will probably suggest that you
