If you're building from git, please follow the instructions in
README-hacking.  Here's a precis:

* Make sure you have up-to-date versions of autoconf, automake, flex,
  gettext, git, graphviz, gzip, perl, rsync, and tar installed.  If this
  isn't feasible, do the remaininng steps on a GNU/Linux host that
  has recent tools installed, then type 'make dist', and copy
  the distribution tarball to AIX and build the tarball as usual.

* Run the following shell commands:

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/bison.git
git checkout maint
git submodule update --init
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make check

It'll take a while; sorry.  If you're on a multicore machine
something like 'make -j8' should be faster than plain 'make'.
