Are you sure about this? When I saw those warnings first after debian
unstable got bison 3.0 I've read the release notes and interpreted it
differently: By accident *only* the = syntax worked for a long time. Then
somewhere around 2.8 they added the syntax without =. That means that <
2.8 versions are likely not to work anymore.
