-  /* When POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, some future versions of GNU M4 (most likely
-     2.0) may drop some of the GNU extensions that Bison's skeletons depend
-     upon.  So that the next release of Bison is forward compatible with those
-     future versions of GNU M4, we unset POSIXLY_CORRECT here.
-
-     FIXME: A user might set POSIXLY_CORRECT to affect processes run from
-     macros like m4_syscmd in a custom skeleton.  For now, Bison makes no
-     promises about the behavior of custom skeletons, so this scenario is not a
-     concern.  However, we eventually want to eliminate this shortcoming.  The
-     next release of GNU M4 (1.4.12 or 1.6) will accept the -g command-line
-     option as a no-op, and later releases will accept it to indicate that
-     POSIXLY_CORRECT should be ignored.  Once the GNU M4 versions that accept
-     -g are pervasive, Bison should use -g instead of unsetting
-     POSIXLY_CORRECT.
