Neither am I, actually. It shouldn't happen, and, if it is, I assume
it'll be fixed in g++ one day. I still use 3.4.1, so I'm safe for now.

I'm certainly guilty of using g++ when compiling bison-generated code...
even from yacc.c and glr.c. That seems necessary given that the C++
skeletons aren't ready. However, when building bison itself, I don't
understand why g++ would be used. I guess it's a moot point, but it's
curious.
