Ugh. This means your yacc/bison tool doesn't like the code.

You don't possibly have bison installed somewhere so that you can make
configure use that instead of the (faulty) yacc you seem to have?

We may need to add a configure check that checks if the found bison/yacc tool
is good enough. I've never seen anyone have this problem before, I'm quite
surprised. That code has looked like that for quite some time...
