** Backward incompatible changes
Compiling Bison now requires a C99 compiler---as announced during the
release of Bison 3.0, five years ago. Generated parsers do not require a
C99 compiler.
Support for DJGPP, which have been unmaintained and untested for years, is
obsolete. Unless there is activity to revive it, the next release of Bison
will have it removed.
