I took your advice and downloaded the entire gcc 2.7.2 tree rather patching
gcc 2.7.0 so bison isn't invoked and I've just finished compiling 2.7.2 with
no problems at all.

So it looks like bison 1.24 was the problem. I'll touch the .y files in a
minute and rebuild to confirm.

I compiled the 1.24 bison myself using gcc 2.7.0 on a 15th May snapshot of
NetBSD-i386 system.
