The second line does comply with the ISO C grammar (but does not
satisfy the constraints for an assignment expression).

The first line does not comply with the ISO C grammar.  Which is
to say, there is no way to reduce the first line to a single
nonterminal under the ISO C grammar rules.

Disclaimer:  the two previous statements represent my best
understanding.  I'm fairly confident they are right but I
wouldn't advise someone to bet their life on that.
