Hi Nicola,

just found out that I forgot to ask a question, but anyways, your rule 
directly leads to it. ;-)
Why not use a rule such as:

%.c: %.y
        $(BISON) $(BISON_FLAGS) -o $@ $<

The problem here is, I'm not sure which is better. I think that I heard 
people say that bison usually produces better code than yacc, but I 
might be wrong. If that would be the case however, then it might 
possibly be best to decided which rule to use while configuring GNUstep 
make - if bison is present, take my rule, if not, go with yacc. On the 
other hand, this might be overkill.

Cheers,

  Marcus
