build: fix incorrect dependencies
Commit af000bab111768a04021bf5ffa4bbe91d44e231c ("doc: work around Texinfo 6.7 bug"), published in 3.4.91, added a dependency on the "all" target. This is a super bad idea, since "make all" will run this target *before* "all", which builds bison. It turns out that this new dependency actually needed bison to be built. So all the regular process (i) build $(BUILT_SOURCES) and then (ii) build bison, was wrecked since some of the $(BUILT_SOURCES) depended on bison... It was "easy" to see in the logs of "make V=1" because we were building bison files (such as src/files.o) *before* displaying the banner for "all-recursive". With this fix, we finally get again the proper sequence: rm -f examples/c/reccalc/scan.stamp examples/c/reccalc/scan.stamp.tmp /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/mkdir -p examples/c/reccalc touch examples/c/reccalc/scan.stamp.tmp flex -oexamples/c/reccalc/scan.c --header=examples/c/reccalc/scan.h ./examples/c/reccalc/scan.l mv examples/c/reccalc/scan.stamp.tmp examples/c/reccalc/scan.stamp rm -f lib/fcntl.h-t lib/fcntl.h && \ { echo '/* DO NOT EDIT! GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY! */'; \ ... } > lib/fcntl.h-t && \ mv lib/fcntl.h-t lib/fcntl.h ... mv -f lib/alloca.h-t lib/alloca.h make all-recursive Reported by Mingli Yu <mingli.yu@windriver.com>. https://github.com/akimd/bison/issues/31 https://lists.gnu.org/r/bison-patches/2020-05/msg00055.html Reported by Claudio Calvelli <bugb@w42.org>. https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-09/msg00001.html https://bugs.gentoo.org/716516 * doc/local.mk (all): Rename as... (all-local): this. So that we don't compete with BUILT_SOURCES.

** Bug fixes
+ Fix concurrent build issues (introduced in Bison 3.5).
+
Push parsers always use YYMALLOC/YYFREE (no direct calls to malloc/free).
- Portability issues of the test suite, and of bison itself.
+ Fix portability issues of the test suite, and of bison itself.
Some unlikely crashes found by fuzzing have been fixed. This is only
about bison itself, not the generated parsers.
