The compiled code doesn't run with version 2.12.0 either. It does also contain
code which triggers undefined behavior. Which is not the cause of the problem,
because cc65 should be able to cope with it, but it shows how weird the code
is.

Finding the problem using the yacc.c source module seems to be a real lot of
trouble. I've spent almost two hours to just find the place where the compiler
breaks it with no success.

Yes, please send it in private mail.

Yes, thanks! Flexible array members were adversely affected when working on
the bit-field stuff. It is fixed now.

Fixing the remaining errors would also be a nice improvement :-)
