Sure! my pl_gram.c generated by this version of bison is :

    403 typedef union
    404 #line 115 "gram.y"
    405 {
    406                 core_YYSTYPE                    core_yystype;
           .........
    454                 PLpgSQL_case_when               *casewhen;
    455 }
    456 /* Line 193 of yacc.c.  */
    457 #line 458 "pl_gram.c"
    458         YYSTYPE;

and cause the generated pl_gram.c problematic.
