What evidence do you have that bison would make a sudden change from its
traditional form?  If it hasn't adapted to the C89 style in over 10 years,
why now?  You ask gcc for warning messages, gcc complies.  What chance would
the cygwin developers have of changing bison, even if they wished to do so?
