Thanks for exploring these scenarios.  But I think it is really
something that goes wrong in bison's own behavior.  It might be
related to an Alpine bug, or in bison itself, I have no idea.

The logs you sent are inconvenient to use because bison was
mixing stdout and stderr output so the result is out of order,
and very hard to compare between two different machines.  I
have fixed this, and also added some support to be able to
change the timeout that is fired in that test (the default,
5s, is way too much here).

Could you please try with this new tarball?

The quick way to run just the one test we need is:

make check-local TESTSUITEFLAGS='271 -d'
TIME_LIMIT=1 ./src/bison -Tcex -Wcex 
./_build/g9d/tests/testsuite.dir/271/input.y >/tmp/271.log 2>&1

Thanks in advance!
