Here are some testsuite enhancements that might help the on-going
work on Yacc support. OK for a proper temporary branch off of
'yacc-clean' (after having merged into it the older temporary

a) If we end up doing a gnu-make mode, would it be possible to fix
this somehow in automake? (see old thread for reference

Currently, automake is not smart enough to resolve variable expansions
in AM_YFLAGS (or foo_YFLAGS) when scanning them for the `-d' flag.
value_as_list_recursive can usually help here.

The patch is based off of maint. OK to apply to a temporary

Yes. Thank you!
And thing you developed it off of maint, it might be a candidate for
later merging into branch-1.11.

Can you, just for the sake of measuring performance, edit the generated

I disagree that `make prefix=... install' is a poor man's DESTDIR.
OK ok, I didn't mean to offend anyone here.
Installing using DESTDIR will install things in
