Some months ago we put in a feature that allows you to see the log of all
stages, not just the stage that failed. Not all buildfarm members have yet
been updated to that release, unfortunately, so you won't see it on every
details page.

Among those with this failure that have updated is rook. See the stage logs
here:
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=rook&dt=2006-01-02%2011:39:01
the "config" link is the config.log file configure produces, and the
"configure" link is its stdout.

configure doesn't actually report the bison version, but it does complain if
the version is less than 1.875, and I don't see that on rook.
