  ...
  make  check-local
  make: don't know how to make package.m4. Stop
  *** Error code 2
  Stop in /usr/home/johans/git/bison-2.4.3/tests.

The full output of './configure; make; make check' I have put online
at http://www.stack.nl/~johans/bison-make-check-log.txt
But running gmake just once seems to fix it: If I later run 'make check'
with BSD make again, it will run all tests just fine.
