Comment 2 for bug 449273

Yes Monty
Just to confirm your findings.
this problem is not a 32 bit specific. i got same issue on 64 bit Ubuntu as well (on a fresh installation without bison).
but something i am not able to understand is first configure and make is success.
any subsequent make after a "make distclean" gives this problem

is your fix will be asserting presence of yacc/bison?

Thank you,
Jobin.
