Which file did you patch, exactly?  "make" just runs "cc -o parser
*.c", which doesn't use grammar.300 at all, which is the only file
that the patch works on.  You need to use mkgramy, doyacc, and
mknames to actually generate the .c files, and I couldn't get those
to work.

OK.  I'm still wondering what difference it makes to use %prec
rather than error productions.
