I doubt it has to do with those changes: Are you sure that you did not work
on that project for a while, then switched to a compiler that check for
unions properly, and that is causing the problem instead?

-- The problem is probably rather that you have delayed the C++ support for
too long, so that when the compilers become more conforming, the old
non-conforming code that formerly compiled will break. It should break,
because it is not safe.

So despite of your plans of a fancy C++ support in Bison 1.48, I think it
would be more prudent with some simple tweaks in 1.31+, as I suggested, and
then successively work up the fancy stuff later.
