Just to clarify, if the examples are left in the Makefile for bison, by 
default, the make completes, but make install never installs them (as 
they are just examples).  So the installed files are exactly identical 
with the edit, it just doesn't break without g++ and takes less time to 
compile.

And just in case anybody says, "but the examples are sometimes useful 
for testing or making sure it really works," bison contains a real test 
suite that can be run but that isn't run by default already with 135 
different actual tests.

If you really do want these examples, you'd have to look at them 
sometime between pre_build and final, because that's the only time 
they'd exist on your system with either version of the spell. :)
