Thanks for reporting that.  We really need strtoul, since strtol has
the wrong semantics for numbers >= 2**31 on your host, so I installed
the following patch instead.  It should appear in the next test
version of Bison.

2002-12-02  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * configure.ac (AC_REPLACE_FUNCS): Add strtoul.
        * lib/strtoul.c: New file, from gnulib.
        This fixes a porting bug reported by Peter Klein in
        <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-bison/2002-December/001944.html>.
