It's this line:

Looks like that's a feature of newer bison versions, I'm using 3.0.4.
I added line that because that bison is otherwise having trouble with
the grammar extensions I added. I just tried 2.3 and it doesn't seem
to know that option yet. Funny thing is that if I just remove the
line, it seems to just work fine with 2.3. I haven't compiled it all
the way through but at least 2.3 isn't complaining about the
extensionss (it just needs the expected shift/reduce conflicts
adapted).

So not sure what the right solution is but for now: either upgrade
bison, or remove the line and keep an eye on if things work correctly.
