Very correct.  I am working hard to figure out why Byacc can't be used to
create cc1plus's parser.  In fact simply upgrading /usr/src/contrib/bison
(which is version 1.25) to version 1.26a causes me the same problem as
Byacc.  There is a single line I can comment out of vers 1.26a, 1.27, and
1.28 that will allow me to use the newer Bison's to compile -CURRENT's
cc1plus.

I will either upgrade /usr/src/contrib/bison to 1.28 or remove it
completely.
