do not ignore errors like ENOSPC,EIO when writing to stdout
Standard output was never explicitly closed, so we could not
detect failure. Thus, bison would ignore the errors of writing
to a full file system and getting an I/O error on write, but only
for standard output, e.g., for --print-localedir, --print-datadir,
--help and some verbose output.
Now, "bison --print-datadir > /dev/full" reports the write failure:
bison: write error: No space left on device
Before, it would exit 0 with no diagnostic, implying success.
This is not an issue for "--output=-" or the other FILE-accepting
command-line options, because unlike most other GNU programs,
an output file argument of "-" is treated as the literal "./-",

Don't use IF_LINT in Bison sources.
It creates unnecessary differences between the sources that Bison
maintainers build and test (given that maintainers normally
configure with --enable-gcc-warnings) and the sources that Bison
users build. Instead, use PACIFY_CC, which doesn't. This change
fixes compiler warnings reported by Tys Lefering at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2011-05/msg00004.html>.
* configure.ac: Don't AC_DEFINE lint regardless of the configure
options. This change affects imported gnulib sources, where
IF_LINT still appears and depends on lint.
* src/scan-gram.l, src/scan-skel.l: Replace uses of IF_LINT with
PACIFY_CC.
* src/system.h (IF_LINT): Remove cpp macro.
(PACIFY_CC): New cpp macro.

Fix precedence for end token.
Since Bison 2.3b, which restored the ability of precedence
directives to assign user token numbers, doing so for user token
number 0 has produced an assertion failure.
* NEWS (2.5): Document fix.
* src/symtab.c (symbol_user_token_number_set): In the case of the
end token, don't decrement ntokens if it was never incremented.
* tests/regression.at (Token number in precedence declaration):
Extend.
