Well, for me (but I don't see the problem without the {} on my system -
GNU bison 3.2.2 on Debian GNU/Linux), both with and without {}, when using
LANG=C bison -W -y -d SDCC.y
I get 7 warning about "empty rule without %empty", but no other
warnings. The people reporting issues seem to be using GNU bison on
Microsoft Windows.
