Minor Makefile changes.

Own Id: OTP-6362
1.27 Parsetools 1.4
Improvements and Fixed Bugs
Several modifications of Yecc have been made:
-
The new functions file/1,2 take the role of the old functions yecc/2,3,4. The latter functions are no longer documented but are kept for backward compatibility.
-
More checks of the grammar file have been implemented. Examples are warnings for unused non-terminals and duplicated declarations.
-
Invalid pseudo variables are no longer replaced by '$undefined' but cause a failure.
-
Reserved words no longer need to be quoted when used as terminals or non-terminals.
-
When compiling the generated parser file errors and warnings concerning user code refer to the grammar file, not the parser file.
-
Yecc emits a warning if there are conflicts in the grammar. The new declaration Expect can be used to suppress this warning.
-
The new operator precedence declaration Nonassoc can be used to declare operators with no associativity.
-
Precedence can be given to more than one operator with one single operator precedence declaration.
-
The function parse_and_scan/1 in the default includefile accepts {Function, A} as well as {{M,F}, A} as tokenizer function. Exceptions in the tokenizer are never caught.
-
The functions yecc:file/1,2 can be accessed from the Erlang shell via the new functions c:y/1,2 in STDLIB.
See yecc(3) for further details.

1.29 Parsetools 1.3.1
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
-
A bug in the file parsetools/include/yeccpre.hrl caused yecc:parse_and_scan/1 to always report a parse failure when the lexer reported end-of-file. This problem has been fixed.
