You might want to include into the installation instructions (or whereever
it will end up) that GNU bison 1.25 is required. (right after the flex
stuff)

I have encountered problems in particular with the ecpg interface where
the Solaris yacc generated syntactically messed-up C code and bison 1.24
couldn't even process one of the .y files. (In case the ecpg maintainer is
unaware of this, let me know and I'll try to get a full problem
description. This happened with the CVS sources of today.)

This is just in addition to other problems that pop up once in a while
with vendor-supplied yaccs on the actual backend parser, I think.
