I'm not sure if this will help.  I've had a problem similar to what you
mention on solaris 9 (sparc)  with cfengine-2.1.13.  If I remember
correctly I had to move /usr/local/bin/yacc which I believe is part of the
bison package out of my path, and use /usr/ccs/bin/yacc.  I had to
specifically configure with /usr/ccs/bin/yacc in my path.  Once that was
done it compiled cleanly.   I too had a package using bison 1.875.   
Perhaps it's a bison bug...

I'm sure I'm going to encounter the issue again, because I obviously 
wasn't keeping notes as carefully as I should have been.
