Compilation failure on AIX with 5.1.4

Building PHP 5.1.4 on AIX fails in two places with a syntax error:

Zend/zend_language_parser.c:2585
Zend/zend_ini_parser.c:1081

The offending code is the same in both cases, which is not surprising
since they are both bison-generated files:

#if defined (__STDC__) || defined (__cplusplus)
int
yyparse (void)
#else
int
yyparse ()
;
#endif

The compilation succeeds after I delete the line containing the
semicolon.

I downloaded a 5.2 snapshot and verified that this line is still
present.

Cheers,

Do you have a patch?

And yes, I forgot to add that: it works perfectly fine here, on AIX 5.3.

I was a bit concerned about the fact that these are
bison-generated files. Doesn't that imply a bug in
whatever version of bison was used to generate these
files? And wouldn't the bug instantly reappear as soon
as these files are regenerated for whatever reason?

Perhaps it's a difference in our compilers. I'm using IBM's
VisualAge C compiler.

Take care,

Well, your second phrase is the answer for this question.
