Re: Security warnings when using LLVM 9

[Uxio Prego]

Hi, sure.

I've added a `bison_20180901` _ref_ at my VCS backups provider:

https://github.com/galegosimpatico/amara/tree/bison_20180901

At that branch my macOS computer is able to reproduce what I just
wrote to you only by ordering   `make` (I verified with a clean clone).

Note that the dependent project is not free software ATTOW.

Now I'm going to use that branch to prune out the reduced example I
understand I’m supposed to provide you. If I succeed, or whenever I
give up reducing, I’ll create some other repository, license it BSD0,
and copy my reduced example over there.

Then I'll try to transform the snippet (or collection of snippets, I’m
afraid) into a text I can mail to address@hidden, and come back
to submit there a report with a reduced example, my expectation, my
result, and convenient links to any free software resources I shall
consider.

I hope all of this will be enough compliant with your etiquette
(which I'm not familiar with), and in any case you already have (if
that helps) an open source not reduced example.

Thank you. Truly best cheers and regards!
