-  Work around for broken code generated by bison 1.875.
-
-  The code generated by bison 1.875a and later, bison 2.1 and bison 2.2 is ok.
-  With bison 1.875 however, the generated code contains:
-<pre>
-  yyerrlab1:
-  #if defined (__GNUC_MINOR__) && 2093 <= (__GNUC__ * 1000 + __GNUC_MINOR__)
-    __attribute__ ((__unused__))
-  #endif
-</pre>
-  This usage of __attribute__ is illegal, so we remove it.
-  See the following references for details:
-  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2004-02/msg00014.html
-  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14273
