    Problem Summary PIN4C.00057 POSIX 2b removes mandated location of program section within yacc source files.
    Problem Text
    The description of where yacc may place program sections
    generated source code in POSIX.2 has been determined to be
    defective, as discussed in IEEE PASC 1003.2-92
    interpretation #93. The draft standard POSIX.2b states that the
    placement of program section is unspecified.

    Since this area of the specification is subject to change, we request
    a temporary interpretation allowing the placement of program
    sections to vary from that described in POSIX.2.
