Under 3.0.4:

ntp_parser.tab.c: In function ‘yysyntax_error’:
ntp_parser.tab.c:1512:3: warning: switch missing default case [-Wswitch-default]

But I can see that the repository-head source for the C skeleton has a
"break" generated in it at the right place to suppress this
warning. I'm wondering when that change was made because I'm trying to
get some idea when it is likely to hit the street in major Linux
distros.

It's the only warning that GCC throws in the entire NTPsec build.  We're
perfectionists and would like to banish it.
