Not quite actually. Currently Automake invoke Bison as yacc, i.e., it passes the flag -y, --yacc. This flag is expected to trigger all sorts of warnings if you use features that are not supported by POSIX Yacc. Because Bison is frequently invoked with -y but people do use Bison features in their grammar, I cannot have --yacc properly do its job: non-Yaccisms are not diagnosed to the user. I would really like to see -y stop being used so that differences with Yacc itself can be reported. Cheers!
