There, I just read this:

which is not correct.  Bison does not perform any transformation
on @FOO@ at all.  This is completely unrelated to it.  What would
be most useful is to get the generated files and see what they
look like.

Also, I might have missed messages, but I would like to see a
plain copy-paste of the terminal where I can see exactly what
commands were run, and what the tools reported.

Cheers!
