+ Use the symbol properties to output the printer/destructor for lalr1.cc.

+
+ Convert lib/Makefile.am into lib/local.mk.
+ The real problem is rather gnulib.mk, which itself is extracted
+ from a Makefile.am that gnulib expects to the "recursive". The

+
+ Get rid of yyrhs and yyprhs in yacc.c.
+ They were used to get the symbol types, given a rule number, when
+ displaying the top of the stack before a reduction. But the
+ symbol type is available from the state stack. This has two be

Introduce make_symbol.
- make_symbol provides a means to construct a full symbol (kind, value,
- location) in a single shot. It is meant to be a Symbol constructor,
- parameterized by the symbol kind so that overloading would prevent
- incorrect kind/value pairs. Unfortunately parameterized constructors do
- not work well in C++ (unless the parameter also appears as an argument,
- which is not acceptable), hence the use of a function instead of a
