[bug-gettext] make fails with invalid directive errors when running ylwrap

[Amit Chaudhuri]

Hi,

I am trying to update gettext from the savangh git repo: branch
master, sha1 7b967191976bf013cca0a5b21b1e3dbe34e86889. This in order
to attempt to build make itself from current master.

After two aborted attempts due to a lack of dependencies
(libtool/gperf) I performed a clean, autoreconf -if, configure and
make.

I get a build failure when the gettext supplied ylwrap script
processes cldr-plural.y:

/bin/sh ../../build-aux/ylwrap cldr-plural.y y.tab.c cldr-plural.c
y.tab.h `echo cldr-plural.c | sed -e s/cc$/hh/ -e s/cpp$/hpp/ -e
s/cxx$/hxx/ -e s/c++$/h++/ -e s/c$/h/` y.output cldr-plural.output --
bison -y -d
 gettext/gettext-tools/src/cldr-plural.y:254.13-18: error: invalid
directive: ‘%empty’
 gettext/gettext-tools/src/cldr-plural.y:258.13-18: error: invalid
directive: ‘%empty’
 gettext/gettext-tools/src/cldr-plural.y:267.18-23: error: invalid
directive: ‘%empty’

Any advice on how to get around this?

Regards,

Amit Chaudhuri
