I didn't recognize the significance of this earlier.  If the token 
STACKSIZE is conflicting with a system header in MacOS, perhaps a better 
fix is to rename STACKSIZE in the .y and update any uses elsewhere.  Have 
you tried that yet?

Your current patch lets the system header symbol be redefined, and so 
there should still be a warning even though the error goes away.  I don't 
know what the effect of redefining that header symbol is.

I'd say the backward incompatibility here is really in MacOS.  Bison's 
backward incompatibility just converted the important warning into an 
error.
