Not that I am aware of, but this system has definiterly seen too many
administrators and I am not used to RedHat. RPM says:
[pbecker@meganesia pbecker]$ rpm --query bison
bison-1.28-2
The comments in the files getdate.c and bison.simple match this version
number (1.28).

Isn't this the relevant part:
--------snip---------
#line 183 "getdate.y"
typedef union {
int Number;
enum _MERIDIAN Meridian;
} YYSTYPE;
#include <stdio.h>
--------snap---------
?
Here is the part you wanted:
--------snip---------
case 20:
#line 286 "getdate.y"
{
yyMonth = yyvsp[-2].Number;
yyDay = yyvsp[0].Number;
;
break;}
--------snap---------
The whole file is temporarly available as
http://meganesia.int.gu.edu.au/~pbecker/getdate.c and the bison file can
be found via http://meganesia.int.gu.edu.au/~pbecker/bison.simple --
I'll delete them in some days.
HTH,
Peter
PS: another thing that might be relevant:
[pbecker@meganesia hypermail-2.1.0]$ gcc --version
egcs-2.91.66
at least a difference to the SuSE installations.
