No.  libtextstyle is *optional*, and the mechanisms to ensure portability
missed the fact that not all versions of libtextstyle are equal.  In the
present case, it should just have discarded that version and fallback to
the case without libtextstyle.  It did not happen, and it will happen in
Bison 3.7.1.

Lemme be super clear —it appears I was not clear enough—.  What you,
Arnold and Lars experienced are bugs, no question about that.  And I did
not see it coming, I'm sorry about that.

Cheers!
